The league should respect the retirement of the number 1 shirt at AFC R&D. A young and talented footballer with a bright future tragically lost his life and the retirement of the number is a small gesture that the club can continue to make in honour of this and as such should be respected.

Out of respect for this talented young man, the number 1 shirt should always remain Dale's.

So long as the number is visible does it matter what it is? Maximum.of 2 digits is fair enough though. FA. RESPECT.

Why can't AFC Rushden retire the number 1 shirt? Only recently F1 retired a number due to a death, Basketball and Baseball retire shirts. Its not harming or upsetting anyone in football that Rushden keeper wears a 17 shirt. Keep this wonderful tribute going.

Show some respect! It is old fashioned to have goalies in no 1! Outfield players no longer wear number designated shirts! Set a precedent for the club and a memorial to this young man!
