Doesn't matter, excuse my ignorance (I'm usually dripping with it) but who wore 21, 45, 42, 16, 20, 17 etc before they were iconic city numbers?

Knock yourself out :)

17 was Sun Jihai
45 was Micah Richards before he got the 2
21 was Hamann
20 was Mangala
16 was Onuaha amongst others

I can see a number over 11 being associated with a particular player but not 1-11.

45 is more iconic for Micah Richards’ FA Cup goal at Villa than Balotelli.

Wish he wasnt given ten, he doesnt deserve to follow a legend

Fucking hell I can’t believe an adult actually said this, let alone thinks it.

True, the number 51 was retired in tribute to David Faupala.

Pretty much my point.

Maybe that tweet from yesterday will calm the flappers who were worried that he hadn't been officially unveiled.

Did Rodri deserve the 16 shirt!

What number would be deemed acceptable?

3.141 would be more than acceptable for Luke Shaw's shirt number.
