“579 from the halfway line” still kind of works 
Major nostalgia trip looking at some of those names as well.
Weird that it goes from 601 to 603 though

It may be kind of gimmicky but it’s interesting. I wonder if we’re the first to do it? Either way I’m asking for a #38 “Bunks” Markham shirt for Christmas

I'm sure alot of the early players have strong stories but this one stands out.
170. Walter Tull
The first black outfield player in the Football League, Walter Tull was a trailblazer in English football. Playing in our first-ever matches in the Football League, he later enlisted in the British Army as the Great War engulfed the continent. In the conflict, he became the first British-born black combat officer in the British Army, fought twice at the Somme, before he sadly lost his life in 'no-man's land' on 25 March, 1918.
