What is the meaning of "08"?

I saw "08" numbers on the shirts worn by James Beattie and Steven Gerrard in the Liverpool - Everton derby instead of the usual No 8. Do you know why?

Re: What is the meaning of "08"?

I was wondering the same thing on Saturday, Farnerud. The answer is here http://www.thedailypunt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9734

Apparently it's because Liverpool will be the 2008 city of culture, so it was to promote the year '08.

Yes that went down well. First time they use it and the player wearing it gets done for unsporting behaviour and being a thug.

Culture you say?

Re: What is the meaning of "08"?

I was in Liverpool in late 2000 for a couple of months and it was the capital of culture then I think? Seems strange to get it twice in 10 years. This year’s capital of culture is going to be Malaga apparently. There is more culture in the a pint of spoiled milk.

Re: What is the meaning of "08"?

I believe that the "8" is a part of billiard.thereīs a lot of "08",cause thats the finishing ball,black and beautiful. Gerrard isnīt 8 years in Pool and he didnīt shoot goals.It wasnīt the eight title for Pool and Gerrard and his son/daughter havenīt the 8th birthday.So,only the black eight as ball in billiard is the rest isnīt it?

I think Gerry must be an alien, or a robot thats short circuited. Its the only feasible explanation.
