wasn't there someone in Serie A a few years ago who really wanted the number 10 on their shirt, but it was already taken so there had 19 but there was a + in between on the back of his shirt to keep him happy... can't remember who it was.
Salas and Zamarano for Chile at the World Cup, wasn't it?
In one day cricket, they allow single digit shirt numbers to be replicated with a zero on the front (e.g. 7 - Shaun Pollock, 07 - Herschelle Gibbs) Will football go down that road?
How long until someone's shirt number is "retired" like they do in the US?

And loads of numbers have been retired in football:
