United players, chronological numbers

[mattbianco1]

Watching cricket and they have their chronological number under the crest on their shirts.
You can check the football numbers too on the FA website.

Does anybody know a list of United players chronologically?
How many players have played for us?
What number would our next debutant be?

Anybody know?

Are you just counting players who played in the league? I'll do a spreadsheet for you over the weekend if you like.

It's how I roll...

Yeah league could work, thanks.

If more than 1 player makes a debut together, how do you want to number them, alphabetically?

Can Roman numerals be used please, would make us look massive.

Just had a look in the Complete Record and to 1999 759 players had made league appearances. 21 players had just played in the FA cup mainly before United entered the Football League, 1 player had only made a League Cup appearance. So we must be well over a thousand now

Seems the fairest way, or shirt number maybe? If that happens in cricket with the England side it goes on batting order

I'm pretty sure one of the old books that I've got on the Blades somewhere had this in, will have a look around and see if I can find it.

I reckon by number. So on 17/8/85 for example Ken McNaught (no 6), Peter Withe (no 9) and Ray Lewington (no 10) all made league debuts and would be in that order

Not all on there - some genius designed it so that Tony Currie, Dane Whitehouse and various other notables aren't actually visible anywhere as they're either under the badge/sponsor or cut off at the edge of the fabric. On my XL one anyway.

But what if McNaught and Lewington started and Withe didn't come on as a sub till the 63rd minute??
