New Chelsea striker didn't want to wear the 'jinxed'
number
Chelsea striker Loic Remy refused to wear the
number-9 shirt at the club and opted to choose
number-18 instead.
The Frenchman joined The Blues just before
transfer deadline day from Queens Park Rangers,
and despite the no.9 shirt being available, Remy
went with 18 instead, in order to avoid wearing the
'cursed' number.
The number was left vacant after Fernando Torres
completed his two-year loan deal to AC Milan, but
the new striker refused to take the number.
Chelsea have failed to have a successful no.9 since
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who left the club over a
decade ago.
Since Hasselbaink; Torres, Franco Di Santo, Steve
Sidwell, Khalid Boulahrouz, Hernan Crespo and
Mateja Kezman, all put on the number 9 shirt, and
all failed to shine at Stamford Bridge.
