No, Gerry McNee doesn't work for this network, but my sources tell me that the numbers have been changed for the coming season, probably to plug the gaps that have been left by the non use of the number four shirt and others similar.
That number will be a major talking point with the fans - who will wear Franck Sauzee's old number? Will he be big enough to step into the breach? Only time will tell.
Another interesting question to crop up will be who will wear the No 1 jersey next season? Nick Colgan holds it at the moment, but I would imagine that Bobby would want to have his first eleven wearing the first 11 numbers, and Tony Caig done very well when he stepped in for the suspended Colgan.
Other news is that the worst kept secret in football turned out not to be true! Ex Celtic striker Tommy Johnson was expected to sign for us as soon as he was out of contract at Kilmarnock, but he has signed a 3 year deal with Nationwide First Division side Gillingham.
I don't see this as a major loss as ginger players don't look good in a Hibs strip - just ask anyone who remebers Graham Mitchell! Don't get me wrong, Mitch was a good player for us, but would have benefited from a bandana a la that Nigerian player!
