Why don’t Prem teams retire a jersey number from their club after a legend has worn it? In Sports here in North America if an all time great player gets his jersey retired it hangs up in the rafters and no one can wear that number again.
Ronaldo wore the 7 for Man U and it just feels weird seeing it being tossed around from Depay, Di maria and now Mount.
Its more common in Italy but there are a few. Nr 6 in West Ham is Bobby Moore’s and I think Man City retired Marc-Vivien Foe’s nr.
