Friggatriskaidekaphobia

Another hobby of mine is playing with words. It is rare (to say the least) getting a chance to trot out a nine (9) syllable word!!

Here it is folks for this Friday the 13th. Meaning and history are here from Wikipedia (for as much as you can trust it).

So to put a soccer bent on this, I found it very interesting that Liverpool and Arsenal do not have any a #13 jersey. Too unlucky.

Then again, many clubs do, including the USWNT. To see a partial list of notables wearing the #13, take a look here.

For an unbelievable historical look at who wore what number, why, and just random cool football number facts, look here at Footballspeak.com.

For those who are Friggatriskaidekaphobic, good luck today =)
