17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Seydou Doumbia
16. The Reason He Wears The Number 88 Shirt...
Here's what Seydou told NUFCTV earlier this afternoon: Its hard to give you an exact reason. When I first arrived in Moscow I took No 8 and at the end of the season I think Id scored 38 goals altogether. I wanted to double up and have 88 theres no other reason for it than that. I just like it and its stuck. Doumbia was then asked if he would like to have the same squad number at Newcastle, to which he replied Yes, definitely. If thats the number that Im allowed to wear then Ill snap it up.
