5 players with unusual jersey numbers

Although squad numbers aren't much talked about in football, they do signify the position a players plays in. For instance, the number 7 is worn traditionally by right winger, number 9 by pure strikers and the most prestigious, the No.10, by the most skillful player. However, there are certain players in the past who took the road less travelled and chose to wear numbers which were very different and distinct, and ranged from their year of birth to their body weight. Here's a list of 5 players with unusual jersey numbers:

#1 Hicham Zerouali

The Moroccan striker was given the moniker 'Zero', as the first four letters of his surname spelt the number and on that account, adorned his shirt wih the same number during his stint in Scotland with Aberdeen. 

He was the first player in Scotland to sport the number 0, which was outlawed by the Scottish League the following season.
