I feel as if I already know most of the characters on here. Although I appreciated you won't know me from Adam. (Who is Adam anyway? Is it Big Tone?)
Islington Born (now in Camden) I'm a Clockender from the late 80s and now ply my support from block 5.

I watch a lot of American Football and the commentators always call the best players by their shirt numbers, 18 for Manning, 12 for Brady etc. A few years ago when Kolo first came into the team I used to refer to him as Number 28, even once drunkenly getting onto You're on Sky Sports and raving about him to Kenny Sansom. Then when he changed to Number 5 I coupled it with the fact we've had so many great Number 5's over the years, Bould, Keown, O'Leary and bang Robert is your fathers brother.
