officeglenn Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Was watching the Manchester United-Liverpool EPL matchup this morning when something unusual happened...Liverpool midfielder Harry Kewell must have taken an elbow to the face or something, because he had his nostrils plugged with tissue to stop the bleeding. But some blood must have gotten on his shirt, so he had to go to the sidelines to change it.When he came back he was wearing a jersey with the number 50 (he usually wears 7) and no name. It also looked like it was a size or two too large.Anyway, just thought that was kind of interesting. Still 0-0 as I type this, so we'll have to wait and see if the change helps. EDIT: After halftime, Kewell was back wearing his regulation no. 7 jersey. The equipment manager must have found a laundromat near Old Trafford.

BJ Sands Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Kewell=classless traitor.Man U=Scum.As for the shirt, what did they do with the 50? Ebay? It's a collector's item. Did it have his name on it or not? I didn't see the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 No, just the number & thanks to that jersey, I now know the difference between an replica jersey and an player's issue kitP.S. I'm just surprised that Kewell didn't go off after that knock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Henry Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 No, just the number & thanks to that jersey, I now know the difference between an replica jersey and an player's issue kitP.S.

Alphabet Man Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 must have been a blood replacement jersey, we use them in the AFL when we use one-off shirts.....Also, don't bag HarryThe replica's must be a bit different, maybe badges sewn on rather than screen printed, slight differences in the colours, sewn on numbers different collars maybe twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Happened a few years back(few being judgmental term here) when Fleury was still on the Flames, had his nose busted open, and actually sported a fan's jersey of number #74. I guess there's actually a rule about how much blood can be on a jersey before it's considered biohazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought that real soccer rules only allow numbers between 1 and 23? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought that real soccer rules only allow numbers between 1 and 23? yeh maybe it changes per league, maybe 50+ are blood rule shirtsthe Socceroos have 1-23 but the ten extra subs take it to like 35 twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought that real soccer rules only allow numbers between 1 and 23? no there's no rules on the numbers as long as they're 1-99. It's is just more traditional to have the lower numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Also, don't bag Harry Alphabet Man, I understand why an Aussie would defend him. It's cool.But I am a supporter of his former club, Leeds, and I hold him partly responsible for the great fall. For the Roos he's a totally different person.

kc51design Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 So what did you notice in Kewell's #50 shirt that is different then other player's shirts? I watched the game too, and was pretty pissed about Rio's header in last minute... lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's is just more traditional to have the lower numbers. Actually, there is one player ? Adolfo Bautista Herrera ? who plays for Chivas in the Mexican league and wears 100 on his jersey.

amare32 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I am a supporter of his former club, Leeds, and I hold him partly responsible for the great fall. I, too, am a fan of Leeds. But I don't blame Harry or Rio or Robinson or Smithy. I blame Ridsdale and the rest of the sorry management that ran the club into relegation. They've righted the ship now and it looks like we'll go back up. No sense hating the players whose sale was necessitated by the ineptitude of the former regime.

totc Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Happened a few years back(few being judgmental term here) when Fleury was still on the Flames, had his nose busted open, and actually sported a fan's jersey of number #74. I guess there's actually a rule about how much blood can be on a jersey before it's considered biohazard. I remember once Craig Berube's jersey was torn after a fight and, whilst the equipment manager was sewing it back up, he had to don a spare jersey -- for a while, he was No. 67.
