OT: What numbers did you wear?...

#11 as a QB/LB
#51 (Butkus) as a LB (wanted 58 for Lambert but some Carl Banks fan got it before I could)
#20 as a right fielder/catcher (wanted 14 for Pete arose but it was retired at my school)
If I had played hockey I would have been #19 for Bryan Trottier.
 
Wore 76 foe eight seasons because of Rosey Grier. Our school got new unis for my Senior season and did not order a 76, so I switched to 75 since it was the number that my brother wore.

85 - I was a defensive end. No speed and no size, but I loved putting the pads on. Our coach used to criticize us for practicing like girls if not enough of us were bleeding. Those were the good old days.

We had a line coach that would criticize us for, as he termed it, "titty blocking". You didn't want him singling you out for that!
