THE YELLOW PAGES ...Iota

The number "10" in football is a very important number worn by the best and most creative player on the team. 

Some famous #10's are Michel Platini, Wayne Rooney, Pele, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Johan Cruyff, Roberto Baggio, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Ronaldhino, Francesco Totti, Luis Figo, Raul Gonzalez, Zico, Jesse Baldwin.


Yellow the color has so many colorful uses in language, take this one for example:

Yellow Dog Democrats was a term applied to U.S. Southern voters who voted solely for  Democatic candidates, with the term commencing in the late 19th century. Due to Republican president Araham Lincoln's   leading the Union against the Confederacy, these voters would allegedly "vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for any Republican"

On June 10, 2011 at 9:58 pm  SIKLOS said: "I submit that Ferenc Puskas of Honved, Hungary and Real Madrid was the best number 10 in football, ever."
