We managed without numbers in England unti 1939/40… True, the days when players positions could be identified by their builds and eccentricities, madcap goalkeepers, full backs with tree trunk legs, centre halves like Popeye, midfielders smoking pipes, wingers with spindly legs and centre forwards covered in coal dust after a shift down the pits.
