After a huge 41 appearances featuring a truly extraordinary 4 goals and 3 assists Birmingham City have retired 17 year old Jude Bellingham's number 22 shirt.
Is this not simply the most tinpot shit you've ever seen? What other examples of uttter tinpot-ness exist in football? When will Tottenham retire Jake Livermore's numer?

You have to think they're doing that on the thoughts of the player he could become rather than what he achieved with the club.
Which would make it a little funny if his career didn't turn out as expected and they had to sheepishly unretire the number whilst he was a 27 year old impact sub at Everton.

That is mental tbh, I'm sure we've done some tinpot stuff before but I can't think of anything that comes close.

The Miami Heat retired the number 23 for Michael Jordan and even that was less tinpot than this.

Definition of tinpot is claiming another club is tinpot.

Combine shirt number 22 with the weird crying rant about Instagram from Transmere Rovers, it's clear that English football is the baseline for tinpot. Clubs going bust, points deductions, dodgy owners. Tinpot.

It's obviously a marketing campaign. His younger brother is coming through at Birmingham (and it meant to be even better). Once he's of age to get a squad number Jude will "give his blessing" for his little bro to take the number.
