Okay, so I was scrolling through the internet, trying to find some cool stuff about football, you know? And I got this idea: what about making a list of football players who wear the number 6? Sounds pretty simple, right? But it turned out to be a bit more of a journey than I thought.
First, I hit up the usual spots – you know, the big sports websites. I figured they’d have some easy-to-find lists, but nope. I mean, they had tons of info, but it wasn’t organized by jersey numbers. So, I had to dig deeper. I started searching for individual teams, checking out their rosters. That was a bit of a pain, going through each team, one by one.
Then I thought, “Hey, maybe there are some fan sites or forums that have this kind of thing.” And I found a few, but the info was all over the place, nothing consistent. Some sites had lists from like, five years ago. Not exactly what I was looking for.
My DIY Solution
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down names. Every time I found a player with the number 6, I’d write it down. I kept at it, browsing through different leagues, different countries – it was quite the task. But it was also kind of fun, you know, like being a detective or something.
- Paul Pogba: Found him playing for Manchester United.
- Thiago Alcântara: Spotted him at Liverpool.
- Koke: Noticed him representing Atlético Madrid.
- Marco Verratti: Found him at Paris Saint-Germain.
After hours of this, I finally had a decent list. It wasn’t perfect, and I’m sure I missed a few names, but it was something. I even started recognizing some patterns, like how certain positions tend to wear number 6 more often. It was a cool little project, and it taught me a lot about football around the world. Plus, I got to appreciate the effort that goes into collecting this kind of information. It’s not as easy as it looks!
