Who Are We Saving Our 11 Shirt For?

We should have given it to Palmer. Hes an integral member of first team.

I thought JC said he had 22

It was in a now deleted CityXtra tweet from yesterday confirming Gomez as 21 but he's still 80 on the OS.

The no 11 is surely being kept for Ben on his long awated return.

interesting that he wore our 22 shirt when last at liberty.

Hardly a coveted number then ha

This some sort of sick joke Nick? After Kolarov left we should have retired it.

I thought you’d be petitioning the club to do exactly that!

Great post, i started at Tony Towers watching 'live', Neil Young being my first '11' hero. My favourite of this list has got to be Denis Tueart first springing to light in the Sunderland cup final. A great stalwart for our club both as a player and subsequent spokesperson
