1 - Andy Warrington, Neil Sullivan
2 - Simon Marples, James O'Connor
3 - Tim Ryan, Gareth Roberts
4 - Dave Morley, Steve Roberts, Jos van Nieuwstadt

Was it the last or penultimate conference season we started with numbers?

[MrFrost]

I think the last conference season. I wanted to compile a full list of players that have worn each number. Cant believe some of the ones i've missed!

It'll get very tricky further down the line given how many players we've had on loan in 7/8 years - I reckon we must have had plenty of keepers under Penney.

One easy one though - (I think!)

Was Bruce Dyer 9 or 10?

[paddymacca]

19- Ricky Ravenhill

[MrFrost]

Yep he was. Cant remember which though. If I dug all my programmes out of the garage I could complete this, but I daren't venture in there without the missus demanding I tidy it!

[paddymacca]

What about andy watson. Was he not no.11?

[MrFrost]

I think he was 14. Or was that Robert Gill?

[DonnyEl]

dyer was 10, mcsporren 11

[paddymacca]

16. Anthony Griffith
20. John Spicer (before no.10)
33. Theo Streete (last goal scorer at Belle vue

Also waht number was jan budtz?

[VikingJames]

I don't think any are missing for 11 now, it was Paterson up until the end of 03/4, then McSporran for the following 2 years, then he was released, and Locky was given number 11 in 2006.

I think Robert Gill was 15.

Number 12 was John McGrath, then Jan Budtz then Hayter.

[VikingJames]

Also, remember that Steve Brooker was No. 32 prior to permanent signing, and has never actually played as number 9.
