10 years of FIFThey retired #3 when Facchetti died, in his honour, for the reasons I'm sure you know off. We can't retire every number after a loyal player retires though... but you do have a valid point.

10 years of FIFI don't know about you guys, but I think retiring numbers is so stupid. The Numbers should become an honor to wear, so that we can identify other players with the legends that once wore them. I can't see the point of retiring numbers. It's like with CR7 and Raul. He get's in his footsteps. And if I imagine that JJ for example is going to stay at Inter for a while, I would be happy to say "JJ wear's Zanetti's number".

10 years of FIFWell of course you have to watch who get's it. But still if JJ was in the club for some years and he would play good it would make me happy to see him wear it, as an example. It would remind me of Zanetti for ever. The Numbers have to live on, not die...if we go on like that all the first 11 numbers will be gone, that would be stupid.

Well I have a reason to retire number, Bergomi only wear this shirt in his whole career, just like Maldini and Baresi, and Milan retired their numbers if am not mistaken...
Unlike JZ but he did show loyalty, when a club like Madrid wanted to get you, and you decided to stay, you have to respect that kind of player, JZ made most appearance with this shirt, and he also deserve to get his number retired...

Well yeah, like I said before, Bergomi deserved that, only wear this color in hi whole career says it all...

FIF Special OnesI wouldn't say it's stupid. I just think it kind of sends the message of ''We can never have a player reach these heights again so we won't try''
A player dying is a different topic but I'd like to see the #4 being used in the future.

10 years of FIF4>3 for me.
Id rather return the number 3 and retire for good the number 4 than retire them both lol
Aurel has a valid point tho, these numbers should be used and only given to world class players.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFthat's because you're generation 4 not 3. if you were witnessing 3, you probably would say otherwise. Ask i4e or others..
well, to my opinion, 4 shouldn't be retired unless jz has done something more than just being a former captain. like facchetti who won it through his career as a player, captain, and president, the man who laid the foundation for the treble.
