Senior Squad
I have a question to pose to you all
I know that a number 9 shirt is often a first choice striker and a number 10 is often a midfield playmaker but why is this?
My question arises because i was reading an article about the newly assigned Leeds United squad numbers and the journalist seemed to think that because no number 5 had been assigned to a player than Blackwell could be in the hunt for another central defender.
What is the origins of these positional numbers? does anyone know? Am i making sense??
