And not just any midfielder..
Edgar Davids has took to wearing number 1 as his squad number for this coming season..

Yeah, I know, it's in the lower leagues.. But you know it's coming to the top flight soon..

If I played I would have a weird number like 76 just to be a little different.

Was gonna post the same until I saw this.
They wore numbers according to where their name was alphabetically so it's been going on for donkeys years.
It still doesn't make it right! Neither does having Kone.A on the back of a shirt - it's just Kone!

Disgusting.

It will only be a matter of time before it happens in the prem? My guess it will be a Suarez type player. On a side note I notice Edgar has dental braces from the earlier link. Another thought for the said Suarez?

I am a bit anal with champ manager squad numbers and do like to start a 1-11 line up at least once a season, it is annoying when players start having silly numbers like that
