I don’t know why after all this time but I’ve suddenly just remembered that Bury did as well. I thought we had them covered in the thread! I've almost got a complete list, I'll post the numbers I've got tomorrow morning.

Don't know if we ever found any more of the Birmingham numbers? Just discovered Peter Shearer was 19 and Paul Harding was 31 when he signed permanently.
Actually, same programme has McGavin at 11 and DeSouza at 33.

Actually, same programme has McGavin at 11 and DeSouza at 33. I think McGavin and DeSouza were the other way round. McGavin himself told me he was 30-something, and a Birmingham fan helped me by looking through the season video, telling me McGavin wore 31 at first before setting at 33. I've also been told they reverted to 1-11 for the final six games of the season.

Bury 1 Gary Kelly / Lee Bracey 2 David Adekola 3 Lee Anderson 4 Nick Daws 5 Chris Lucketti 6 Ian Hughes 7 Alan Knill / Lenny Johnrose 8 Mark Kearney 9 Ron Mauge 10 Tony Rigby 11 Andrew Reid / John Ryan 12 Roger Stanislaus / Dave Hanson 13 Craig Nixon / Paul Collings 14 Ian Stevens 15 Phil Jones 16 Derek Ward 17 Kenny Woods 18 Michael Jackson 19 Gary Powell 20 Luther Blissett / Jason Beckford 21 Mark Caryer 22 Tony Kelly 23 Ryan Cross ? James Mulligan ? Graeme Worsley ? Dave Felgate
Mulligan and Worsley played during the season, Felgate didn't, but I think he might have been on the bench.

Seems that they started the season without squad numbers: youtu.be/DKiG5rqczbsBut they definitely did by 16th of October.
Is there any chance that they didn't use squad numbers when wearing the away kit? Just a thought.

I take that back.
Around 2:35 you can spot what looks like number 27 on the back of a white shirt. Also, the 'keeper seems to have his number on a stiched on white patch.

I've tried, but I don't think I can make out any new numbers from that video! Anyone else able to work any of the ones we're missing?

Lincoln is one of the clubs I've got a good source at.

I've e-mailed a guy in the Swedish Colchester fanclub, asking him if he has any connection within the club or in the fanbase that might be able to help us.
