When was the last time our No.1 actually wore the no.1 shirt? I seem to remember Caspar, PIG and Stockdale all wearing numbers other than 1. Was it Brezovan back in League 1?

Casper wore #16, PIG wore #29, Stockdale number 13. Brezovan wore number 1, as did King Michel before him after McGhee stripped him of it and gave it to Henderson. For shame.

Semi serious question – has the No 25 shirt been retired after Zamora left, or was that just a rumour/gesture suggested by someone? Only Kaz didn't take it back last season and hasn't for this season – although I suspect he probably won't be here anyway, despite having a squad number.

No, Vegard Forren was number 25 last season but we never saw him. Number 25 will hang heavy on whoever wears it for us now!

Great to see him in the 25 (at present). He is unique and a great joker for CH to play as a sub although I admit he is about 5th choice for the left wing starting position at present.

The problem with the joker card is it's utterly useless in most card games... I fear the analogy may be proven correct on account of Kaz probably not being all that useful at this level.

Frankly, 37 is a frickin' ridiculous shirt number.

Would love a return to times when the starting line-up simply wore 1 to 11, subs started at 12 and there were no names on shirts.
