Synonymous Shirt Numbers

[Red Wing Blade]

The number 7 shirt at Manchester United has been previously associated with greatness. Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Christiano Ronaldo all wore it and became legends at the club.

Have the Blades got a particular shirt number synonymous with legends, greatness or cult status?

e.g. during the mid 2000s Jon Harley and Andy Gray gained temporary crowd favourite status and both wore #14.

The number 19 shirt occasionally still brings me out in a cold sweat thanks to Jay McEveley . Stears partly laid the ghost to rest this season!

Well, that's a short thread.

Martin Smith and Patrick Suffo both wore 19. I liked both of them.

Speaking of #10

Sharp, Deane, Currie and Hagan. Think that qualifies as the legendary Blades number.

Sharp specifically chose number 10 this time around because of Deane, didn't he?

Not sure that's happened before at United.

17 - Carl Bradshaw and McG

Mark Duffy is the best number 21 we've ever had.

He must have specifically asked for that number when he joined us.

He also wore number 21 at Burton Albion.

Christ, bring on the end of the summer. And the playoffs aren't even over yet.

Woodward 7 (can't remember was it Colin Morris' number too?)

 

[JPBrods]

The greatest there ever was and ever will be.

Without sounding too controversial...I think I could have done a job against that level of opposition!

Should that lessen his legacy?

Shaun Murphy as no.7 in his 1st season shall always stay with me.

 

[Silent Blade]

Woodward 7 (can't remember was it Colin Morris' number too?)

Yes

Mid-noughties crowd favourite wearing #14? I think you mean this guy...

I had a feeling Wayne Allison wore #14.

So that's the #10 for legends and #14 for shirt term crowd favourites.

Who else has worn #14?

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

7 Woodward, 10 Currie. The first numbers and associated names that came in my head.

Everyone going with strikers but what about our Number 3's? Alan Wright, Tom Cowan, Wayne Quinn had the best left ping in Division 1 and of course our current no.3 Enda Stevens

I've always had a fondness for the No. 21 and its fair to say Mark Duffy has only made it even better.

Matt Done's first season.

He also wore number 21 at Burton Albion.

Norwood always wears 16 too

Number 6... James Beattie - prolific !

Remember that mug someone produced- the one based on the back of Deane's shirt?

It was great until Deano himself pointed out that he wore 10 instead of 9!
