What is the meaning of "08"?

[farnerud]

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?

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?

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.

I wouldn't worry about that CJ, I believe even Glasgow has had it

Are you sure that you weren't in Glasgow CJ?

I believe that the "8" is a part of billiard.there´s a lot of "08",cause thats the finishing ball,black and beautiful. Gerrard isn´t 8 years in Pool and he didn´t shoot goals.It wasn´t the eight title for Pool and Gerrard and his son/daughter haven´t the 8th birthday.So,only the black eight as ball in billiard is the rest isn´t it?

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

confused as well and I want to turn upside down the TDP

But the "08" theory isn´t bad ....
