Thanks to all ... dare I ask again ...

25. What number is missing 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 21, 23, ?

Hi earthakitten.

You're right thinking of shirt numbers for 25. There are only 10 numbers and a team consists of eleven players. So, apart from our glorious failures (England, I mean) which team are going to be remembered in years to come?
