...Well, twos anyway. If I need to, I apologise for this one following so closely on the cyclonic one. It's an ill wind?

Hopefully this one will resolve more quickly. To help that, I'll let on up front: the answer this time does lie in the players' playing careers with the Redlegs / Fuchsias / Demons.

I'm indebted to @Whispering_Jack for the information allowing me to select the two squads below. I suspect Jack didn't account for a rather famous match, though, and accordingly missed that Bluey Adams and Froggy Crompton were qualified. Jack also expressed some uncertainty about Ossie Green's and Jack Minnis's qualification but I've included them to give me two starting 18s - let's say for Jumpers v. Skins praccy match? No, that won't work; let's say for a Red Jumpers v. Blue Jumpers.

There appears to be only these 36 players who qualify for the squads, in all of the Club's 168-year history. Could there ever be an more? Possibly not. Past times lent themselves more to qualification: Joe Kinnear is pre-eminent among the 36. William McKenzie, William Hendrie and Dodger Evans (or was it Fred Harris? - a bit of confusion there, too, in Jack's records) share a next level of eminence above the rest.

I don't know where many of these old-timers played, so I've selected the squads entirely arbitrarily, based on alphabetical order. I wonder, though, which team would have won? Anyway, what links them all?

Don't be surprised, folks; @Demonstone has nailed it already. His prize - a second trophy cabinet - is on its way to him (I can hear his current one groaning from here).

But, as usual, and particularly pertinent, there are 3 prizes (perhaps more?) so plenty to play for still. Avago!

Welcome to the winners' circle, @Harvey Wallbanger! No sagging cabinet noise from his is evident here - though I imagine that situation's not too far away - so a credit voucher for his second is on its way to him.

Harvey also confirmed why Joe Kinnear was pre-eminent. I can deduce from @Demonstone's answer that he knew, too.

Well, now we have - appropriately - three winners: @tilly18 has come up with the goods. I'm not sure what his quiz record is, so his prize, if he needs it, is the services of a feng shui specialist to determine the best location for a trophy cabinet.

In honour of William McKenzie, William Hendrie and Dodger Evans / Fred Harris there's a fourth prize still begging. And in honour of Joe Kinnear, there's even a fifth!

Have at it!

And now, appropriately, @demon-4-life is our 4th winner. A first-timer, I think? Welcome and Well Done!

Similarly appropriately, his is the McKenzie/Hendrie/Evans/Harris prize.

I wonder if there is a 'lander with '5' in their alias. The appropriate Kinnear prize will rest well with them!

Time to bring this baby home.

For one last chance to grab prize 5, the 'Joe Kinnear' - excuse my apparent stutter:

N...numbers.

Very nicely for this Tim, one of our other Tims - most uncomplicatedly, @Tim - takes home the 'Kinnear'.

Well done to him! 👏

That's it then. Our 36 are all the players who wore 3 or more numbers in MFC seniors games. McKenzie, Hendrie, Evans and Harris wore 4. Kinnear, uniquely, wore 5 - in only 47 games!

I believe the game missed by Whispering Jack was the 1958 GF, when players had to have new numbers, after the leak of their normal ones in the lead-up. Bluey and Froggy were the only ones that day who had worn, or would go on to wear, 2 other numbers.
