[modey]

Berg and May are two I guess.

[ralph250]

Berg is right yeah but i'm not sure may won the league with blackburn?

[worm]

Cole, Berg and Anelka then, aye?

[jump]

Graham Le Saux? He may have left Chelsea when they won the League though.

Probably an easy one for TGT, but what do the following shirts have in common: West Ham’s No. 6, Man City’s No. 23 and Chelsea’s No. 25?

[TheGayTent]

All been retired.

Bobby, Foe, and Zola. Though of course Gianfranco isn't dead (at least to my knowledge!)

Is the correct answer.

[TheGayTent]

Da Costa next then

[the_hedge]

I was going to add Cantona to that list but when he won it with Leeds it was the old First Division

[ampersand]

why was zola retired? doesn't that seem a tad silly in hindsight now that they're a top club? with arguably better players.

moore and foe, fair enough.

In some ways I like it - why should you wait til after someone has died to recognise what they did for the club?

In other ways, I'm with you, plus of course they're Chelsea Rent Boys...

i just think it's a bit silly in the whole. i wouldn't want any numbers retired, but as i say, can understand the first two. foe more so.

just seems to give an air of the player is bigger than the club. which should never be the case.

cech is surely a better player than zola. do they retire the no.1 jersey when he leaves? and you've teams like man utd with best adn charlton etc who's numbers are continued to be used. pointles exercise i think. just a number innit? all this talk of suarez being 'the new no.7'. who cares?

[ampersand]

Zola contributed a lot more in his team at Chelsea than Cech did, in a way Roman only bought Chelsea as they were CL team so if Zola hadn't help build the club to that point he wouldn't have bought it and Cech wouldn't have signed.

I'm more cynical about Foe though as he was only at the club for 1 season.

[jump]

surely being based in london played more a part than zola? i dunno though, would be nice to learn the in's and out's of it.

foe died whilst that shirt belonged to him didn't he? nice mark of respect, but i think there are better ways.

as i say, just think it's silly.

No one player will ever be bigger than WHU, but no player will surpass Bobby.
