1. Goalkeeper This is an attempt to identify the classic 4 4 2 positions of yesteryear. Anyone wish to finesse or rubbish my list? Note I don't actually know what numbers Wright or Bright actually wore.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

1. Goalkeeper Ah, now that's the sort of terminology that I understand! My fading memory tells me that back in the fifties and sixties goalies in the home leagues (as opposed to overseas) didn't have a number on their back. I certainly don't recall John Jackson wearing a number. The other thing about that era was that goalies almost invariably wore a plain green top, and I remember Vic Rouse (I think it was him) having to change into blue because of a clash with Chester's green.

1. Goalkeeper Yes Teddy, this speaks volumes to those of us of a certain age. Personally, I would love to see these numbers reintroduced, but I know it'll never happen.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

So some evolution... I think Kevin Taylor and Andy Gray were very much number 4s in my mind's eye. My mind's eye does not remember brilliantly, I won't lie. Two inside forwards, two wingers, and a No 9. Seems very attacking? Are there later iterations than Teddy's?

that was the old W-M line up - 442 9 and 10 are strikers, but with one up front these days the number 10 plays in the hole of course. 4 is midfield thug, 8 is a playmaker, 11 is always a winger, 7 usually is but can be a midfielder. In our current squad the defenders would go 2,3,5,6 as before, Kouyate would be 4, Schlupp 7 and Gallagher 8, Zaha is 11, Mateta is 9, and either Eze, Oduard or Olise would be 10 if they're on the left wing, maybe ,ake them 8 and Conor 10? We should do favourite players in those numbers - Palace and general. 4 Kember/Nicholas/Gray

I meant to say agree with those numbers and you got Wright and Bright’s playing style correct. However Wrighty was 10 and Brighty was 9.

Those were the days!! 7 was my favourite player number when I was a kid, because of great players like Georgie Best, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish and Steve Coppell

In the middle 1960s manager Dick Graham often changed all the numbers round say number 11 appeared at number 3. Palace changed their programme from 2-3-5 to players numbers in a straight line. It did confuse their opponents. Nothing in the rules to say it was wrong.
