Ritire the #2

Should reading Retire Murtys Shirt number 2?

Personally i think they should as he has taken the team as captain a long way.

:roll: shouldn't they also retire the no. 4 as that was Parky's and Senior/Blackman/Friday tended to wear the no. 9, Horrix the no. 10 and Steve Death wore no. 1....

I know, lets retire nos 1-11 and officially designate every player to have played for Reading a "Legend"?

It is a stupid idea anyway - far too sentimental for a proper game like football and the kind of thing that scousers or Americans would do.

Retiring shirts is so lame and so American.

FIFA don't allow the retirement of numbers (certainly for international teams - Brazil tried to retire the number 10 shirt a few years ago ... or was it Argentina... one of those) and I don't think it should be allowed either. You'd end up with stupid numbers like 92 on the back of someone's shirt like you do in America. (says he that always likes to play in the 19 shirt...)

EDIT: Oh no! I'm kinda agreeing with Spacey! Forget what I said, retired them all and let's start from 30 for now just to be safe.

I think if a player dies when on the clubs books then it should be ok, such as Marc Vivian Foe and Ray Jones

Only takes one person to say what a crap idea it was, no need for 10 other people to come in and say the same thing!

Why so aggressive?
Are you trying to scare him to death? (and not the goalie)
I'd agree, though - NO.
