i just realised a new meaning i can take from me being Number 5. you see, i take the number 5 because of the footballers, Rio Ferdinand and, more importantly, Franz Beckenbauer. they are/were both central defenders, but i relate the origins of my liking for the number more towards Beckenbauer. why? cos he became famous in the 'attacking sweeper' role, which is a role i play in and certainly appreciate the most.however, this 'new meaning' i've just realised has more to do with the 'sweeper' part of 'attacking sweeper'. i, being the SL of my section and thus responsible for them all, am almost like a sweeper, metaphorically-speaking, when it comes to the section. i hang around at the back, spotting any mistakes, and clear them up. also, Beckenbauer was captain of the successful German national team of the 70's, so the similarities just keep coming.it really is inspirational to me, being able to link 2 of the most important things in my life in such a way. it's a new driving force now. i'm more motivated than ever. i'm never going to give up on them, and i don't ever want them to give up on themselves either. i'll make sure that happens.My Style Will Bear Fruit.damn right it will. damn right.Anonyman, squad number 5
