Ipswich Town: Why has Ed Sheeran been given a shirt number?

Sheeran’s shirt is not the first number quirk in recent football history.

In the late 1990s, Inter Milan striker Ivan Zamorano wore the shirt number 1+8, having lost the number nine to Ronaldo.

At the 1978 World Cup, Argentina midfielder Norberto Alonso wore the number one shirt because the national team’s shirt numbers were decided in alphabetical order. First-choice goalkeeper Ubaldo Fillol wore the number five shirt.

While in his player-manager role at Barnet during the 2013-14 season, former Netherlands international midfielder Edgar Davids wore the number one shirt.

Former Mexico goalkeeper Jorge Campos, who also played as a striker, wore the number nine shirt throughout his career.
