The Football Ramble’s Guide To… Number N...

About this episode

Today, we unpack football’s most fabled shirt number and position: the number nine.


Marcus, David and Vish steer you through the evolution of the position, from the sneaky goalhangers, to the all-action centre-forwards at the turn of the century, to… Vithushan Ehantharajah at university? Each iteration mirror broader changes in the sport. Especially Vish.
