These are, indeed, six people who captained their countries, playing together at one time, but crucially they were not all international captains at that time, which because we like to have our hands bound as tight as possible – no questions please – mean they are disqualified from this particular tournament. Ivanovic, you see, was not named Serbia captain until 2012 and Mikel, who was but a whippersnapper at 22 when the 2009-10 season started, was still seven years from getting his hands on the Nigeria armband.

It costs £8 if you want two digits added to the back of Arsenal’s 2026-27 home shirt, whereas Manchester City add on £16 for customisation, whether you want a name as well as a number or not. That is cheap compared to what baseball players decide among themselves. Juan Soto bought Brett Baty a $92,000 (£69,000) car in exchange for getting his preferred number (22) when he joined the New York Mets last year. But that’s baseball, where they allow players to wear ‘0’. Anything goes.
