DevonSpurs Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have just taken over as manager of Plymouth, who are now in the premier league. I signed a player, and as I went to give him a shirt number I noticed that Plymouth have dedicated the number 12 shirt to the Plymouth fans. Now maybe this has been mentioned before, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing. If anybody needs screenshots, then you will have to tell me how.

Mowbs Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have seen players asking for their preferred shirt, only a few times mind Plymouths is probably at a guess, due to them being the 12th man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGLiverpool Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I remember hearing something about this recently, but for the life of me I can't remember how come they did it for the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it happens mate certain players/primadonnas demand shirt numbers nowadays and FM is no different as I was at celtic and mcgeady demanded number 10, its a good addition to the game but I haven`t seen what affect if any it has not giving them there chosen number.

DevonSpurs Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 But I cant give anyone the number 12 shirt, like its been retired in honour of the fans or something, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgu82 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The same thing happens with Fenerbahçe SK of Turkey, number 12 is dedicated to the fans, one being myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 But I cant give anyone the number 12 shirt, like its been retired in honour of the fans or something, It may be in honour of a player who died or just a legend in the Plymouth books! How far are you into the game?; can AI managers retire shirts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've read about this before but not for Plymouth, I think it may have been Reading who also do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftg87 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think that article has been deleted Neji. Either that or Im going mad (again!) For some reason the last bracket is not included in the link, just add a bracket to it and it should work Bristol City, my team, have done the same thing, No. 12 reserved for the fans, gotta say that even though it is my team, I find the whole thing a little cheesy, bit of a publicity stunt kinda thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 A lot of clubs doing the fans are the 12th man etc. Some clubs like Man City have 23 (i think) retired as Marc-Vivien Foé died. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM mad Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Southend United have dedicated the number 13 shirt to the fans, even being a supporter of Southend i haven't heard anything about this. By the way, any Chelsea fans out there i would watch out, Freedman's gonna get ya!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
