If we are already promoted etc. could we actually put him in a match day squad and have him come on for a pen or something in the last five.
Or is this totally just a gimmick and he can’t actually be allowed on to play? |  |

We would have to have him as a registered player with the EFL. Given the limited squad sizes that's just not feasible. |  |

Yes I think he would be allowed but unless the other team had nothing to play for I think would be inappropriate. Even in that scenario I can't see it happening. He is a registered player though so technically yes. [Post edited 28 Jul 2022 18:45]

He'd have to be named in the squad of players aged over 21, which would be a bit of a waste. Could play in one of the cups though, assuming he'd been registered as a player. |  | | |

I think the point of him having a squad number is to sell shirts, There is no chance of him ever coming on, even in the circumstances that you describe. He's away most of the time anyway. |  |

It’s not a comedy club. It’s a commercial decision to give him a squad number - no more than that.
Not registered with EFL either. |  | | |

Think his insurance might have something to say about that.
Also it would be so tinpot, like giving a competition winner a game. Hate the idea of it. |  |

I was really just asking a question that I didn't know the answer too. No over-thinking involved here. | |

Does that count for reserves? Under the old system,
Louis Tomlinson from One Direction played for Doncaster Rovers reserves. They signed him as a non-contract development player, which allowed him to play in the reserves.
If that rule still counts, I could imagine a day at PR with a reserve game and a women's game, maybe raise some money for the Foundation. [Post edited 28 Jul 2022 19:29]

Given we’re going to romp the league anyway, I’d happily take the hit on a place so he could make a sub appearance in the last home game. It just means we’d have to settle for #96points96goals instead of the round hundred. Def info.
It would be very funny if it happened. |  |

He *might* play in a Testimonial at Portman Road one day, but there is no way on earth that he would play in a competitive match, even for 5 minutes. | | | |

He could play in the U23s as an overage player with no problem. | | | |

If we're 25 points clear at the end of January we might as well register him then and give him a few games for the media coverage. | | | |

If we were getting crowds of 10,000 then it might be a worthwhile stunt in the pizza cup when not sure it's worth damaging the brand/club when we're getting 25,000 in division 3 without resorting to this. |  |

25 points! It’s negative aspirations like that which have been holding us back!
#200points200goals
(We’re going to look silly at 16:50 on Saturday, aren’t we?). | |

I can see it now, we’re 4-0 up in the Pizza Cup final, Ed Sheeran comes on to replace Morsy and then lifts the trophy. | | | |

They’ll need to hand out those special glasses we had for the solar eclipse if he takes his shirt off for a goal celebration on a sunny day. | |

He had a cameo in GoT.
Was he a registered actor? No, no he wasn't.
*He might be though. I don't know. |  |
