This was probably dealt with on the previous board as I recall reading it, but I can't find anything about it now.
I read somewhere that ten clubs used squad numbers in the Football League at some point between 93/4 and 98/9. I only recall seing the lists for Brentford, Charlton and Brighton. Who were the others?

I've got a list of these at home with most of the issued numbers. I'll post them later on - unless Bjorn beats me to it!

Brighton. They only used them during the first half of the 93/4 season. thegoldstonewrap.com/tag/ron-pavey/"The squad numbering system was beginning to look very messy, with players’ numbers ranging up to 25, and it also caused chaos in our programme..." |

I never knew that Brighton did either. I wonder who the other teams were?

Lincoln might be one of the 'missing' clubs that used squad numbers in 93/94.
I saw a match worn shirt on Twitter that had both name and number and there's a programme on ebay from a League Cup match between Everton and Lincoln that has Lincoln's players numbered from 1 to 20 (and David Flitcroft without a number).

Now we just need to find programmes from towards the end of the season.
For 94/95 I think that the players had names but no numbers on their shirts and oversized numbers 1-14 on the shorts.

I found a team sheet on Ebay from a match between Northampton and Colchester from early 1994 that indicates that Colchester might be another 'missing' club. There are a quite a lot of Colchester home programmes from the 93/94 season on Ebay, but they list players as wearing 1 to 14.

I don’t know why after all this time but I’ve suddenly just remembered that Bury did as well.
