Quote alaneagle1 at 02 Sep 2012 9.04pm Cannon made his debut at 6. He wore several numbers early in his career but as Teejay said it was 5. Mabbutt started at 9 but mainly 10. PS in those days a number usually went with a position. Unlike AKINBADBUY 55. He had a little "+" between the two 5s ! Fitter Fans Group 2. No. 17
