I do love a good quiz. Those who have listened to the podcast might have figured that out by my impromptu game of Burridge with Ben. I’m not sure he wanted to play.
I also love numbers, mainly stats, but for today’s quiz, I’ve gone a bit more literal. I’ve compiled a spreadsheet (yeah, I do that) of all of the players to have worn 1-11 since we introduced squad numbers, firstly in 1993/94 and then again in 1999/00. My intention is to pick an ultimate 1-11 and a terrible 1-11 for fun later in the week, given that we don’t have a game.
Before I do that, I thought I’d go for a quiz. I’ve picked some of the quirks of the squad numbers, some of the obscure players to have been given a first-team shirt, and put together 15 questions to get the grey matter working overtime. Fancy it? Of course you do.
John Burridge isn’t one of the questions, but there’s plenty here to take you down memory lane, that’s for sure.
