:agree: at the beginning he played as RB.
The fact that he played as RB is also the reason of the 2 on his shirt
Its not like LB's are cursed or something to have a no. 2..:p Lupatelli had a no.10 few years ago, don't remember which team he was with though. Does that imply that he started as a striker? :D

Till the 1994-95 season (included) the numbers of the shirts weren't given to the players at the beginning of the season, but match by match. They went from 1 to 11 (for the starters) and they were given according to the role each player was going to have in that match.
1 is the keeper, 2 is the rightback, 3 is the leftback and so on.
If you go back to see some highlights of that season, you'll see that Ciro had the 2 :wink:


That now Lupatelli has the 10, it's another story :D

I only remember seeing Ferrara play right back a few times during his career. During the last few seasons of his career, for instance, he only played right-back when Thuram wasn't available and nobody else was either.

I think he played regularly as rb for Napoli, but for Juve I think Ciro rarely played as rb.
As Angela said, he started and played half of his carrer as a rb :agree:, the number of the shirt is just a curiosity :wink:

For us he has played as RB just part of the first year, when the CBs were often Kohler and Carrera (he's 42 now and still plays, btw :eek: ).

Didn't know that. :oops:

Actually this system is also currently in use by the Italian national team, though only for the friendlies.
