This just in: Barry G to swap squad numbers with Spuds?

Accies number 21 Steve Spurdens is easily our most yellow-carded player, so according to the below Opta stat I spotted on Twitter just now, he should take Bazza's number 5 shirt for his own - especially as, to my recollection, Barry has never been booked while playing for the Accies…

Opta Sports
5 - The squad number that has picked up the most yellow cards in the PL this season is number 5 (73), ahead of 4 (67) & 6 (64). Trend.

PS maybe Steve can take a leaf out of Theo Walcott's book:

111 - Of current players, Arsenal's Theo Walcott has played more PL games without getting a single booking than anyone else (111). Gentle.

Just to back up the Stats gents i have only been booked once in total so far since i have been playing football and that was with Blueflag about 6 years ago! Hard to believe but its true, honestley.

Yes, Bazza, its hard to believe -- especially given the agricultural defending of many of the players in the Morden Sunday league;)
