England v Spain calls to mind David Seaman's penalty heroics in the Euro 96 quarter-finals It says much about 1990s goalkeeping sensibilities that, compared with the red clownsuit Seaman wore against Germany in the semis, this was the 'normal' one

Today's date in the World Cup squad-number journeys of two legends Paolo Maldini and Paul McGrath both wore 7 at Italia 90 - the Italian as part of their block-numbering system, the Irishman playing in midfield - and they had 5 on their backs by the time they met at USA94

Museum of Jerseys @museumofjerseys.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Players switching from number 17 to 3 are thin on the ground, so unfortunately no Irishmen or even a Patrick Liverpool's Mamadou Sakho did make such a move in 2016 - but bad time-keeping saw him get on the wrong side of Jürgen Klopp and he never played a competitive game in 3

One of the squad-number changes that lines up with today's date, Filipe Luis at Chelsea in 2014-15, is unusual in that it happened before he had played a competitive game for the club museumofjerseys.com/2023/06/23/s...

Kieran Tierney is back in the Celtic number 63 shirt, which he wore for five years before his departure for Arsenal in 2019 If we're being charitable, we could say it represents how he often plays left centre-back in a three for Scotland (wearing 6) and left-back at club level

Another example of 3 and 5 chicanery came at Chelsea prior to 2014-15 When Kurt Zouma signed, he was initially given 3 with left-back Filipe Luis 5 but clearly somebody had mixed felines about that and they swapped before the season began museumofjerseys.com/2023/06/23/s...
