Question for all the Factos...

[city-faithful]

When was the last time a league side fielded a starting line up numbered 1 - 11?

Damned if I know.

It happened every week for most of my life.

What a question! You mean Football League sides, yes? I'll look into it and see what I can find.

I'm not sure how that answers the question.

I think he means, 'Since the advent of squad numbering, when was the last time (if ever) that a starting line-up happened to be numbered 1-11'

And, if so, buggered if I know. Suggest the Guardian's 'Knowledge' column.

I don't know if this is the answer, but I remember a few years ago Man Utd wore a one off old fashioned shirt to commemorate the Munich disaster and they were numbered 1-11.

It was 2008:

"Manchester United have been granted permission to play in non-sponsored shirts, numbered one to 11, in honour of the Munich air crash victims when they play Manchester City at Old Trafford on February 10."

Fair enough. But I was alluding to outside of excepted circumstances. I.E when was the last time a managers chosen team lined up 1 - 11 as a result of thier squad numbers, outside of special permission. I'd hesitate to say that it may well be the last game before complete squad numbers were instigated.
