Potters’ squad numbers released

Stoke City have released details of the squad numbers for the coming season.

There is one interesting change – if you’re keen on conspiracy theories! Sammy Bangoura (still AWOL..) has ‘slipped’ to number 19.

Bad news seems likely if you were hoping for some big signing in the near future – all the first eleven numbers are taken, unlike last season when some gaps were left for any newcomers.

Sole new signing, Vincent Pericard is given number 15. and there are now nine of last season’s youngsters with a squad number.

So if you now want to know which number to get on your new shirt, here’s the 2006/07 Squad list:

1 Steve Simonsen
2 Carl Hoefkens
3 Marlon Broomes
4 John Eustace
5 Michael Duberry
