      Liverpool's most uninspiring shirt number
      Aug 15, 2016 03:33:22 pm
      Saw this post from DLS in another thread

      Mane's competition for our best ever number 19 is Piechnik, Mark Kennedy, Friedel, Arphexhad, Morientes, Babel, Downing, Manquillo and Caulker.

      After looking at who's worn it - is there a Liverpool squad number with a worse history than 19?

      I can only assume Mane doesn't know his LFC history. F*** me he'd have given the number the swerve if he had.

      As long as the player is happy with it, he remains immune from all superstitious beliefs...and it's all good.

      It's a bit of fun mate.  Maybe that is a foreign concept to you?

      If you look at the more reasonable numbers -- 1 to 25 -- I think 19 has to be among the worst.

      I'm surprised we haven't had that many great No. 3s in the Premier League era: David Burrows, Julian Dicks, Bjørn Tore Kvarme, John Scales, Christian Ziege, Abel Xavier, Steve Finnan, Paul Konchesky, Jose Enrique.

      Probably not, I don't care ;D...It's not something i'd really classify as 'fun' to both thinking that far back about.

      Steve Harkness, Jamie Cassidy, Michael Stensgaard, Tony Warner, Titi Camara, Chris Kirkland, Momo Sissoko, Emiliano Insúa, Danny Wilson, Simon Mignolet.

      Hopefully Mane's will break the trend with those associated with the number 19 jersey & wearing the number 19 & performing like he did against Arsenal it will lead us to our 19th league title.... ;D

      Good thread this should be a laugh, I'm terrible at remembering shirt numbers so I will go with the 19 as being even worse than 22!

      I will never forget when one of my work-mates (back in the old days of sports news updates by Ceefax) shouted over in the middle of the office......

      "F**k's sake Al - have you seen this about yer Liverpool and the new titty camera?"

      100% true

      Edit: Sorry ladies.

      Number 24 runs it close.

      Hooper man in goal
       
      Lee Jones who to be fair did have a lot of hype about him as a kid but never materialised - presumably due to the two broken legs he suffered in the reserves (and being up against Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler).

      Danny Murphy - who I'm not sure if he ever actually played in 24, I only remember him in 13.

      Diomede who's most memorable thing in a Liverpool shirt is having a goal chalked off for offside - mind you it was a cracking overhead against Sunderland.

      Pongolle who I always liked and will be remembered fondly for Olympiakos but was actually rather sh*t for the vast majority of his Liverpool career.

      N'gog who, like Flo before him, I always thought had something about him and will be fondly remembered for one goal - that one against United - but was actually rather sh*t for the majority of his Liverpool career.

      And finally Joe Allen - who was just sh*t for the majority of his Liverpool career.

      Or just having another butchers, try 27.

      Three loanee keepers who never got off the bench - despite only having David James to displace - an Icelandic kid who never kicked a ball for us, Gregory Vignal and Philipp F***ing Degen.

      Oh yeah, and our current number 27 Divock Origi who could turn out to be alright.

      13 is a bit drab with a fair few keepers. Murphy done alright in it but is joined by Anthony Le Tallec, David James, Tony Warner, Stensgard and now Alex Manninger

      The 9 has had some whoppers. Diouf, Carroll, Aspas, Lambert, Benteke dragging it down from the likes of Rush, Fowler and even though hate to say it now, Torres.
