Hemed and Murray

Didn't the idea of a number 10 come around the time people starting asking wtf (that's where, not what, btw) should we play Rooney?

Yeah, nobody had thought of a number 10 before then. Oh ....

Yes, actually in the days when football teams wore numbers 1 to 11 to indicate in which position they played, it usually transpired that one of them wore a shirt with number 10 on the back. They were called 'inside lefts' in those days.
At some point though, 'number 10' seemed to become a position in its own right, called ..... number 10 (as opposed to a player wearing a shirt with 10 on the back).

Which is exactly what that book is about. The position rather than just the number. Point being, it's not a new invention.

OK, we'll just try and get everybody to call them inside lefts then. Should catch on .....................

I'd personally like to see Baldock and Hemed start, Murray come on after 60+ minutes.

Murray showed that he is a much better player than Hemed in all departments?
