Until 1928 football players didn’t have #s on the back of their jerseys. When initially introduced, #s signaled where and what role the player plays on their team.



Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday (then known as Wednesday Football Club) were the first two teams to field players wearing 1-11, with the lower numbers belonging to defensive-minded players and higher ones to offensive ones.

In this show we're highlighting the Number 9: your poacher, your striker, your goalscorer.



Join us to reminisce about and perhaps learn a thing or two about your favorite legends and current #9s. Players like El Fenomeno, Mia Hamm, Di Stefano, Samuel Eto'o, Sun Wen, Marco Van Basten, Miedema, Robert Lewandowski and more!



Plus we've introduced a fun new Trivia segment so you can impress your friends and family with your superb football knowledge now.

The latest episode of With Aplomb is a celebration of American icon Tim Howard's 22-year career.



From a defiant and record-breaking World Cup performance against Belgium to a goal from his own penalty area against Bolton, we discuss the legendary goalkeeper's legacy in both the USMNT and the Premier League. 



Throughout his playing career, Howard possessed the quality, tenacity and leadership that put him head and shoulders above any footballer to have donned the USA shirt before him - and yet as we explain, the example he set means that there is hope for more American superstars like him.



Join us as we hail his exploits on the pitch, as well as explore the characteristics that on top of an exemplary sportsperson, make him such an exemplary man.



P.S. here is that box to box goal Tim scored https://youtu.be/XeZ5zNv9_40

We sat down with Cameron Porter, a brilliant ex-MLS striker, who played for the Montreal Impact as well as Sporting KC.



Cameron collected many accolades in his career and is best known for his famous 94th minute goal for Montreal Impact against Pachuca in the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals to take his team to the semifinals with the last kick of the ball.



Alas, his promising career was cut short at the young age of 24 when he was forced to retire because of injuries.



Join us as we talk about his experience working with Coach Jesse Marsch while he played for Princeton, being in the same dressing room as the legend Didier Drogba, what it's like to play against the one and only Cafu, the future of US soccer, the need for investment in the Women's game and a fun lightning round of questions!



And trust us, you do not want to miss THIS GOAL (https://youtu.be/rOwRHsmBB8s)

And the sheer joy and madness from the stands (https://youtu.be/q9U83M7UTWc)
