How I could find out who the best player to wear squad number 5 for ITFC was... I can't for the life of me find such an accolade anywhere...

Any help much appreciated.

Ask Flash Blue. He has informed sources within the club.

There have been some great No.5's over the years I'm not sure who you would consider the best tho'.

I don't think he ever wore 5. 3 and 6 certainly.

Got to admit I was guessing. If only someone could tell us who has ever worn the number 5 shirt then we could make a proper decision.

It would depend if they were to wear that before it was a number or before football was invented, or something, surely?

You just know, if you were enquiriing seriously mind, that it was Big Al. You don't need to ask!

Shouldn't this be combined with insider knowledge of who's about to sign, just so we're up to date for the new season?

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Correct,the great man made his debut at left back but almost all of his 296 starts were in number 6 shirt.

I think that there could be a case for John Wark being the best ITFC player ever to wear the number 5 shirt but the best of John Wark was when he was NOT wearing number 5.
Allan Hunter would be the correct answer to the best number 5 in my view but as those strange threads only deal in squad numbers he(and Warky) do not qualify.

But Warky does, I was being clever because, if I remember correctly, he was wearing the number 5 shirt in our 2 years in the PL when we wore squad numbers.

Not sure who else has done - Mowbray, Smith, Hermann......plus DJ Campbell

Yes,sorry you are right.

That makes it interesting then because there should be little doubt that Warky was the best player to wear squad number 5 but the post 1992 version of Warky probably was not.

Allan Hunter
Russel Osman
Bill Baxter
Andy Nelson. Captain when we won the league!

Big Al was an immense player. Unbeatable. Kevin Beatties's partner in the centre of defence. Definitely my top number 5.
Russel Osman. Partnered Terry Butcher in the twin centre back roles. Excellent player.
Bill Baxter was skipper when I first started watching Town and for a little fella he had a big heart. Captain of the 1967 Div 2 winning team. Famously fell out with Mr Robson.
Andy Nelson. Captain when we won the league!

Yes but in Robson's time not only were was the idea of squad numbers unknown, but so was the concept of a squad - certainly in Town's case anyhow.

So it is the squad numbers and not the order they emerge from the tunnel then?

It depends if you need to have the number on the shirt and the shorts. It also needs the correct spellliing, anyone with too many letters in their name shouldn't count.

Largely because at that time there was only one substitute in domestic football.
Basically most clubs were just first team plus reserves although clubs like Liverpool had better reserves than we did.
