Let's be honest, as good as Christmas is, it's only ever a preamble to the real excitement of the @squadnos new signings thread each January
To start, Brazilian winger Alysson has joined Aston Villa from Grêmio and will wear the number 47

#OnThisDay #England played Denmark in their opening game of Euro '92.
The goalless draw is most notable for being the first time the England players wore shirts with their names on the back.

You might have thought that a squad-number move representative of today's date would be too hard to find, but:
Defender Muhamed Konjić joined Coventry City midway through 1998-99 and was given the number 9 vacated by Dion Dublin before switching to something more suitable

@squadnos according to Wikipedia he’ll be wearing Wesley’s number 2 in midfield. A first for Brazil?

In warm-up games against Colombia and Ecuador prior to the 1970 World Cup, England's players wore their training shirts which had high numbers but Martin Peters' 28 was the biggest (pic englandfootballonline.com) - Rio Ngumoha is setting a new record tonight

Danny Welbeck and Emile Heskey have also worn 28 for @England, and Joe Hart once played in a 29 shirt against Japan (see link), but Ngumoha is the highest now.

If Alex Scott plays tonight (as predicted) which number will he wear? 27? Let's just say all the players at the camp-but-not-in-the-official-squad play? Could we be getting up to shirt number 31? How does it work? Surely he won't wear a number assigned to a WC member? @squadnos

Chelsea have got three no 24s at the World Cup, all of whom seem fairly likely starters for their countries - Reece James, Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella.

Up there with Sunderland being the only club to have more than one player wearing number 10 for their country at the 2002 World Cup (Claudio Reyna and Patrick Mboma)
Crystal Palace will have more players (12) at the World Cup this summer than Real Madrid (10).
