Thanks for your post, Meyers.

"You can't tell the players without a scorecard!"


BTW, this idiom came from old-time baseball... here's how it started:

the folks way up in the bleachers were too far away to see the faces of the players, but because the numbers on their uniforms were readable from afar, they'd consult their scorecards to see who was who... the team was listed there by name and number...

And in the very earliest days of assigning numbers to players, one technique was to use the batting order (which was solid as cement for extended periods) as a guide. That's how Babe Ruth got #3 and Lou Gehrig got #4.

Association Football still sorta uses #'s for positions. Actually more prevalent years ago, but still.....

GK's are 1
Defenders usually run 2,3,4,5
Midfielders 6, 7, 8 (6 is usually a defensive midfielder)
Strikers/Forwards often are 9, 11
And the playmaker is usually 10.

Rugby definitely goes by position. Starters wear 1-15 based on their position.
1-8 are the forwards (the big guys who make up the scrum)
9-15 are the backs (speed).
9 is the Scrumhalf (gets the ball out of the scrum and starts the plays)
10 is the Flyhalf (kind of QB and does most of the kicking)
