HIGHEST AND LOWEST TOTAL SQUAD NUMBERS

Squad numbers were introduced in 1994 and each Forest player was allocated their number for the 1994-95 season. The 1997-98 season saw us revert (for one year) back to standard 1-11 numbering, but since then a squad number (along with a name on the back of the shirt) has been the rule.

HIGHEST SQUAD NUMBER TOTAL
These are the games where the total squad number of each player has been highest.
It's broken into three sections: Starting Eleven, All players who made an appearance and the Full Lineup including unused subs.

LOWEST SQUAD NUMBER TOTAL
These are the games where the total squad number of each player has been lowest, but this stat comes with some notes. Firstly, games that only allowed three subs to be listed are obviously going to have smaller squad number totals than those of today where we list seven or even nine subs. AND it's going to be skewed towards games where I don't know the subs! So this one can be taken with the proverbial grain of salt!
Again, it's broken into three sections: Starting Eleven, All players who made an appearance and the Full Lineup including unused subs.
