Southampton's numbers added. Fraser Forster gone for the unorthodox number 1 jersey....
Just stumbled across Sheffield United's as well so will add them now.

Is it me or are English teams giving less players a squad number ?. Lots of premiership / championship players not been given a squad number.

England did it. Also at the '82 world cup Blimey, I've never noticed that but you're spot on. Also Charlton famously did them alphabetically in the Football League for one year before squad numbers were mandatory. Seems like a few nations did it back in the day. Italy sort of did it in Euro 96, but just noticed Holland 1974. A keeper wearing 8 is just wrong. Even worse than a keeper wearing 2.

Switzerland in 1954 had a different variation of it as well. Alphabetical order, but by position first. So goalkeepers were numbers 1, 2 & 3.

The GK's and Del Piero, the exception. Argentina continued the alphabetical order in 1986 - with the exceptions of Passarella, Burruchaga, Maradona & Valdano.
