Player Numbers

[M@rvin]

Where in the LOTG does is state that players need to wear numbers and can No1 be worn by a field player?

[Fatty In A Nappy]

I don't think it says anything about an outfield player not being able to wear number one.

Field player can have #1

[M@rvin]

OK so where does it say that players have to wear numbers?

Nothing in FIFA LOTG...

Only reference in FFSA rules:
http://www.ffsa.com.au/fileadmin/user_u ... 2012_2.pdf
Section 38:
"completed team sheet containing the correct names and initials in block letters, the registered numbers and shirt numbers of the club's players taking part in the match"

Individual associations regulate the numbering systems... there are some broad tournament guidelines released by FIFA but once again these are not specific around the numbers to be used...

Although FIFA themselves restrict World Cup Finals numbering to be 1-23 only...

Not in LOTG but competition rules

Edgar Davids wears No.1 at Barnet

[God is an Englishman]

Ozzie Ardiles wore 1 in '82 World Cup, argentina did the numbering in alphabetical order. The World Cups competition rules now state that #1 can't be an outfield player.
