Not only that but it allows the club to find novel ways to £#%&! things up like the Martial Ibrahimovic thing and tossery like Beckham taking a shirt number post United because Michael Jordan wore it playing basketball (£#%&! off) whereas in the old days whoever was in the team wore 1-11 and that was it.
TBF Beckham took 23 as all the good numbers were already assigned. Always felt they made that Jordan narrative up for marketing reasons.
