DO YOU KNOW WHY IVAN ZAMORANO WORE THE 1+8 SHIRT NUMBER WHILE AT INTER MILAN?

1+8 shirt man

Chilean striker Iván Zamorano wore the number 9 jersey for Inter Milan of Italy until a sponsorship deal with Nike saw Ronaldo de Lima (who was originally assigned number 10) given the traditional strikers' number. When this happened, they gave him the number 18 jersey, but Zamorano added a plus (+) sign between the two numbers (actually, 1+8=9). He was nicknamed Bam Bams (for Bamm-Bamm, a character from The Flintstones), and Iván el Terrible ("Ivan the Terrible").
