Bolton Wanderers squad numbers 2021/22 - Every player to have worn each shirt

Matt Gilks has picked up the number one goalkeeper shirt, which was worn by Billy Crellin last season, with Joel Dixon taking number 12.

Left-back Declan John takes up the number three shirt from Liam Gordon, who will now wear number 29.

Summer arrival George Johnston will wear number six, recently vacated by Ryan Delaney, and Josh Sheehan – recruited from Newport – takes number eight from Brandon Comley, who now has number 29.

Striker Amadou Bakayoko will wear number 11, previously sported by Ali Crawford, with the Scot shunted down the list to 31.

Kieran Lee swaps the number 29 shirt for number 20 and new centre-back Will Aimson takes number 15 from the released Jamie Mascoll.

Loan winger Xavier Amaechi will wear number 14.

We decided to take a look at Wanderers’ squad number history and the famous (and not-so-famous) names who have worn the same shirt down the years since they were first introduced in the early 1990s.
