Pardew at the Toon said that if he'd of known how good Ba was going to be he'd have given him that no.9 shirt
Which players do you associate with and actually deserve to wear our numbers ???
I'll start at the start and say the only player who gets the no.1 shirt is Pat Jennings ......................This is not about picking our best ever X1 but a team of players that are/should be associated with a particular Number
1...Jennings
2...
3...
4...Blanchflower
5...
6...Perryman
7...
8...
9...Big Chiv
10..Hoddle
11..
14...Modric
26...King
So tell me who should be on that list ?????????
Special players for those special shirts

I'll make it worse for you....I was behind the goal that Ricky scored in and I was in Wembers when Gazza scored against Arsenal in 91

bobby smith - remember some idiot calling him a cart horse in a european game . bobby scores a goal,then walks up to the player in question ; whl goes quiet trying to hear what was said.. What did he say, only Bobby knows. But we all noted that that this player avoided Bobby for the rest of the game

I was at Wembley when we won the league cup in 99, when Nielsen scored the goal of the season, well maybe not, but it felt that way when it went in.

My friend lived in the next street from Bobby , he was often in the bookies and my mate would often tell me how awful it was to see such a legend in such ill health and how bad his mobility problems were

The problems with growing up eh....
And too true Squid. I'm pleased to say that I have seen us win a cup at the old Wembley, surging forward to actually be able to see where the lifting of the cup because our seats were too high to see without moving forward. The noise a half filled stadium can make.
How about Chris Hughton for the number 2?

Mate you'll never conbvince me that any No 2 is better than Joe Kinnear .....but I'm biased
