Bradley Barcola's Liverpool shirt number Despite the fact 11 is available, following Mohamed Salah's departure to join Trabzonspor, Barcola will be donning the number 29 shirt for his new club. He told the official club channels: “Yes it’s true, it is my favourite number,” Barcola told LFCTV after previously disclosing how the number became symbolic to him.“When I was little, I played EA FC, so I had promised myself to have this number with Alex Hunter, and in the end I was lucky to have it.“And that’s why I hope to keep it for the whole of my career.”This though is no surprise, considering it is the number he wore throughout his time at Parc des Princes too.

Well, Barcola himself stated that he wears 29 in honour of Alex Hunter. In an interview, Barcola noted that this was an inspiration to him growing up: "When I was younger I used to play FIFA.

I thought: the day I go pro, it’ll be 29. Barcola could become the clubs highest-scoring number 29 by, who knows, mid-October, surpassing Fabio Borini's three goals and David Thompson's five goals; they are the only players to have netted more than once in this shirt number.
