That's a great introduction, it works really well with England and helps make players feel a part of club history.

Charlie Lennon was our 998th player.

Looks like someone important might be in line to be 1000?

I didn't even have to check to know that Paul Merson would be 666.

Sorba Thomas

Carrick should register himself as a player and sub himself on in the 92nd minute vs Watford after playing a kid for 999th and him being 1000 .. I'd do it just for laughs ..

 

[TheBlueButterfly]

Brilliant that. First thought was I wonder if Erimus was involved.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

They've thanked a couple of people so I imagine one would be him and the other would be that Shaun lad on here who knows everything about the reserves/kids?

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

We should get Rob to do the same for FMTTM posters, based on the date of the first post.
Who would be number 1( and 666)?
Personally I wouldn't accept a number, I'm a free man!

That cup is the amateur cup. They are only counting professionals.

It was a bone of contention but we decided the starting point was to be our first ever league game in 1899.

456 Is my favourite number.

456 Is my favourite number.

That can’t be Charlie Wyke’s number?

 

[TeaCider]

Obviously I'm not expecting it to be something that's even considered by management, and nor should it be, they should pick whoever they want, but I hope player number 1000 ends up being a key player, rather than a random debut to an academy player who never makes it for us.

Big John's number, our Charlie doesn't have one for the Boro.

Really struggled to all look in the same direction, like an u7’s team photo

 

[Aet290204]

Way of the world and obviously all
About modern football but it’s noticeable that the number of debutantes per season shoots up rapidly in the last few years - it’s now about 3 times the number it was about 15 years ago

They'd never seen a camera before.

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

It’s amazing to see that among some great and some decidedly average players there’s some total dross and instantly forgettable players that make up this history…
There’s some in recent years that I have no recollection of

almost certainly going to be a new signing on the first day of next season isn't it?
