Andrea Pirlo wears #21 for AC Milan for some reason.

CIenfuegos & Valderrama wore #10 much better than any of those guys on the MLS list…

i wonder why Cesc Fabregas wears #4.

[...] If you feel about number like I do, then you’ll be happy to hear the number changes for this season. I’m most excited about Dario Sala going to #1. That’s a well deserved number for him. Drew Moor to #3 I get out of the position he plays, but I was down with him as #14 because of the Dallas history of the number. [...]

fantastic piece. an instant bookmark. the only thing i thought i’d add is that Guevara instantly popped into my head when it came to the #20.

How can we not include mr. Libero, ultimate sweeper, #5 at his best, Franz Beckenbauer.

Nice job with the right up.

I understand the traditions but todays players could not care less about #’s, that’s for fans only.

Jay, sorry I should have put Argentina for Messi as he wears 18 for that side You are correct he used to wear 19 for Barcelona which is why he was listed there as well.

On 18: you mention Messi as 18, messi was 19 when ronaldinho was at barca but has since switched to 10, he was never 18. i have his 19.
