Anybody know why Derby Academy team wore 1-11 in the cup game today rather than squad numbers?
With the interim manager, Wayne Rooney, and his entire first-team squad already isolating at home due to a Covid-19 outbreak at the club, further positive tests leading up to kick-off meant the development coach, Pat Lyons, had to field a side without a minute of first-team experience. Those who started wore 1 to 11 on their shirts because none of them owned a first-team squad number.
Ok thanks. I thought all players had numbers as even some of our youngsters have numbers in the 70s 80s and 90s
