Shirt Numbers - Who do you associate with 1 to 12 ?

[dorgie]

Ok, I'm a bit bored, but here goes......

 

We all started following the club at different times, and squad numbers have changed things hugely, but for Shirt Numbers 1 to 12, who do you immediately associate with each number...doesn't have to be your favourite player or the best player, but when you see the shirt number who is the first player that comes into your mind as being the most memorable in that number. Here's mine :

 

1. Ray Clemence

2. Phil Neal

3. Alan Kennedy

4. For some reason, no 1 player stands out in my mind for this number (tbh, Jason McAteer was the first name that came into my head, but I can't bring myself to putting him in)

5. Ray Kennedy (honourable mention to Ronnie Whelan)

6. Alan Hansen

7. Kenny Dalglish (although my first hero, Keegan, had it when i started following them, i had to say Kenny)

8. Jimmy Case

9. Ian Rush (emphatically)

10. Jan Molby

11. Graeme Souness

12. David Fairclough (emphatically)

The first number 5 I remember was Peter Cormack - and always wondered why he was not a central defender because I though the number on the shirt indicated where you had to play. Ah, youthful innocence.
