Little trivia quiz.
Since the introduction of permanent squad numbers, name a Liverpool player who's had two different numbers, both whilst playing for us, in the same season.
I can think of two examples. There could be more.

Tricky one that mate, I can't think of one! not in the same season.

Robbie Fowler had five: 14 -> 23 -> 12 -> 11 -> 9
(He also reused 2 of these in his second spell: 11 -> 9)

In one season Shipley?

Harvey Elliott. He had 46 when he joined and took the no. 19 a couple of years after Sadio took the no. 10 after Cou left.

Carroll was 9 in domestic competitions and 39 in Europa League in his first season as Torres had already been registered as 9 in Europa that season.

Mane must be one? He took coutinhos nr 10 when he left and had like 18, 19 before?
24 Mar 2025 12:16:44
I going to guess but when Gerrard played with nr 17 and took 8 that was during one season?

Did Aurelio wear 2 different shirt numbers in one season? 12 and 6 maybe.
24 Mar 2025 12:19:05
I can't think of any who used 2 numbers in the same season.
Obviously Firmino went 11 to 9, Ali 13 to 1, Gomez 12 to 2, Nunez 27 to 9 etc. but I don't think any wore 2 different ones in the same season. Didn't think you'd be allowed to.
24 Mar 2025 12:20:50
I can't think of any who changed their number midway through the season. You'd have to tell us the answer SR :)

Babbity Rabbity's got one. Andy Carroll took no. 9 when he arrived, but due to European rules he couldn't wear no. 9 in the Europa League cos Torres had already used it for us that season. So he was no. 39 or no. 29. Can't remember which.
The other one I was thinking of was Pepe Reina. He was normally no. 25, but the Club World Cup at the time required teams to name a 23 man squad and then number them 1 - 23. So he was no. 12 in the CWC.
And actually, now that I look, there were two more players in the CWC squad that season who didn't have their regular number, because their regular number was greater than 23. See can you guess them.

I got it wrong. Carroll was 29 not 39.

Interesting information that 'Something Red'.
Is Sinama Pongolle one? He was No.24 and I remember him playing in that just before going to Blackburn.
24 Mar 2025 15:39:04
Yes Gunn, Sinama-Pongolle was no. 11 in the CWC.
24 Mar 2025 17:24:48
Was the other one Colin’s son? Stephen Warnock?
24 Mar 2025 18:33:54
Was Sami hypia one as well maybe 12 or something before he became 4?
24 Mar 2025 18:53:09
StEtienneAmen. Yep. It was Warnock. No. 2 for the CWC, whilst regularly no. 28.
