Can anyone recommend a good car mechanic in the area?

Thanks!

I wrote a blog post about this a while ago: https://singletoned.com/lowest-consecutive-shirt-number-scorers-in-the-world-cup and then forgot to actually post it.

After Adam mentioned the 9, 10, 11 scoring in an England match and wondered what the lowest scoring shirt numbers were, I went off and worked it out. It turns out to have a fairly obvious answer (if you know about it, which I didn't).

It's 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 all scoring in the same (infamous) match. The 1974 9-0 defeat of Zaire by Yugoslavia, which setup a famous free kick incident in the Zaire Brazil match after it, which Adam actually mentioned more recently.

• #5 Josip Katalinski — 22'
• #6 Vladislav Bogicevic — 35'
• #7 Ilija Petkovic — 65'

I didn't really know about the match before, but I highly recommend going and finding some articles on it, and the events around it.

Also, shirt numbers were illegal before 1954 so matches before then aren't really able to be calculated in this.
