    Yeah i like how unique it is! Long after he has left no doubt we will retire the shirt for him, it is his and if he carries on the way he is he will be a legend! Cant stop watching that first goal from yesterday, one touch beats weir, BANG!

    keep it ,its not been doing him anyharm so far this year aint it, and i feel that when a player gets the no.7 their is an added bit of pressure that goes with it.

    hooper 88 all the way

    If he goes on to become a legend for us we can eventually 'retire' his number in his honour...cannae really do that with the '7'.

    If the guy is happy with 88 leave him with it, some guys are supersitious and would prefer not to change.

    As long as he keeps punishing the Huns for years he can wear whatever number he wants, two more towards your grand total Gary, keep it going wee man !!!

    No. The 88mm Flak gun was notorious for its effectiveness. And so is Hooper. Leave him be with 88.:50:

    ok lads. i obviously didnt think this out when.i started the thread. :52: didnt realise it was his year of birth. but i shoulda thought about the 1888 thing as most of my pin numbers have 1888 in them somewhere { dont worry theres * all in my bank for anyone to steal}. i stand corrected, although i dont care what number he wears as long as he stays here with us.

    If he wants 88 then he can keep it, if he doesn't then we'll get something done about it. Personally I think the 88 is very unique and it really stands out at you when you're watching games on t.v as well.

    88 is the number of goals he is going to score next year.
