Steven Gerrard, meanwhile, became a Liverpool icon in the no.8 jersey during a glittering career that saw him win the Champions League in 2005 among his many other honours.At the start of the season, Naby Keitainherited Gerrard’s old number– but he’s done nowhere near enough to live up to the iconic shirt. Another big change before the start of the season was Mesut Ozil beinggiven Arsenal’s iconic no.10 following Jack Wilshere’s exit. This has been worn by Dennis Bergkamp, meaning Ozil has big shoes to fill after a rather mixed Gunners career to date.But who are the best players to don each squad number in football?Here, talkSPORT.com has taken a look at the greatest players to wear each shirt number, starting from 1 to 45.
