Did anything ever come of having the V numbers printed/sewn onto player shirts?

I was reading back through the thread here to catch the debuts of some of the players and noticed it was a popular idea 2-3 years ago but doesn't seem as if it ever got anyway.

I still love it as an idea.

Other things happening at the club : - )

Congratulations to Albie Morgan who became V858 today v Shrewsbury

Lyle Taylor the 81st Charlton player to score on his debut

Is there a list of players who've scored on their home debut and their away debut. I'd guess that the total number must be significantly less than 81. Well done Lyle.

Could be five, or even more, V numbers awarded tonight.

Morgan V858), Lapsie (V846), Maloney (847), Cummings(850) and Mascoll (V851) have already been capped.

But that leaves potential debuts for

Steer
Maynard-Brewer
Blumberg
Stevenson
Doughty

In comparison Barnsley have had 1181 players since 1898.

Since 1921 they have used 948 players compared to our 858

I assume a number of their signings tore up their contract when they actually saw Barnsley

All five subs have also yet to play a first team game.

Barnsley have a bigger squad, Henry.

How did you decide who got V861?

Henry Irving

How they are listed on the teamsheet

But did they all enter the pitch at exactly the same moment - or was one player slightly ahead of another?

Doesn't matter. The game kicks off at at the same time for everyone no matter how much earlier any particular player got on the pitch.

Using the team sheet is the best way to go to ensure consistency with V-numbers for historical appearances where a team listing is all we have.

V864 is Krystian Bielik

Henry Irving

V865 set to be Josh Cullen

Will admin ever update the thread title?

Henry Irving

Jed Steer will become V866 when makes his debut tonight v Wimbledon.

Is the teamsheet always in position order, or in squad number order these days?

Couldn't kick a ball, but he had a great beard.

V867 will be Jamie Ward assuming he plays tomorrow at Bradford.

Toby Stevenson becomes V868 at Stevenage tonight.

First to score a hat trick on debut?

Don't know

Yes, I think so. Trevor Edmonds (1931), Alexander McCrae (1947) and Darren Bent (2005) all scored twice on their debuts. I can't see any triple scorers though.

Toby Stevenson into Addicks history forever then!
