Ahh, that makes sense now, cheers. Is there a minimum number of appearances made to qualify or does the like of Owen Hargreaves get a number?The Former Players’ Association at City have come up with the idea to create something called the Legacy Project Number Allocation.
David White and Ian Brightwell (with help from others), have gone through the history books and compiled a list from our first ever signing in 1894 to whatever number Nico Gonzalez is, and allocated them a number.
Bill Lievers, in the OP, is number 430, meaning he was the 430th player to play for City.

Good point so Ive modified the titleI only entered this thread to try and make sense of the title, I'm not sure it helped.
Wigan lad.It was on the News this not long ago.
I also heard an interview on the radio with David White, saying how long and painstaking it’s been getting all the numbers correct.
Rugby league teams do this as well, you’ll often see a number under or above the team badge.
For example, Stefan Rarchford here for Warrington, with ‘1097’ above the badge as he was the 1,097th player to play for the Wire.

A nice touch. New signings may learn a bit more about the history of the club and former players if they see their number and how many have gone before them.

If you had an an Aguero shirt, would it have the number 16 or 9 on the back?yeah I like the idea. Sounds like a marketing and money making dream so I assume it will happen. But I have my favourite players and would want their club shirt number.
Aguero was 16 and then 10If you had an an Aguero shirt, would it have the number 16 or 9 on the back?
If you had a Paul Lake shirt, his number could be any of 1 - 14
