Our most popular squad number

[PunkScott]

I believe it is 20 years this year since we started using squad numbers and having player names on the back of tops every game.

So, who do we reckon is the biggest seller?

Novo and Barry must be up there. Are there records available?

 

[themightyi]

Boyd 9 would’ve been quite popular I’d imagine.

 

[sudamericaranger]

Albertz I'd imagine.

 

[MightyBear]

Everyone had Mols 9 on the back of the plain blue NTL top back in the day!

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Lovenkrands was definitely a top seller because I remember seeing it everywhere, and also seeing many upset kids unable to get such a long name on their wee jersey, and also equally upset adults upset that the Megastore had "ran oot of 'R's and N's"

 

[RabSpackman]

Albertz and Novo must be up there with Ferguson for this?


Maybe not so many for Dragan Mladenović.

I remember seeing a guy with

MEEP MEEP
26

 

[Yeti_Hunter]

Number 11 would be my guess

 

[T WATP]

Mols was on home and Flo on away strip, money was tight back then haha!

I had one

 

[PunkScott]

Side note... did Ally ever have "McCoist 9" on a Rangers shirt?

I can remember him with 14 for a European game...

 

[TPB90]

The oldest strip I still have in my possession is the 1996/97 strip with 8 Gazza on the back. I bet he sold a few shirts in his time with us.

 

[Sam English]

Has to be number 11

 

[ChiefWahoo]

Since squad numbers were used I've had

Adamczuk 17
Konterman 15
A. Rae 8

Anyone able to beat that random selection?

 

[Barryhopez]

6 Ferguson would be the most popular I would think?

 

[So Mote It Be]

Once seen a guy in the McDonalds at Clydebank with;

JULY
12
​

On the back of his top.

 

[Jacrispy]

Most common one for me personally was 11.

Used to get it because of Laudrup, then when he left Albertz was my favourite player and also adopted the number 11 shirt, so I stuck with it.

 

[Lester Piggott]

I've seen quite a few in the toon with

QUEENS
11

Lovenkrants 93 ...... Was all the rage after a famous Cup Final victory.

There was a lot of Numan 5 back in the day as Van Bronkhorst was out of price range
