By the time the 1986 World Cup rolled around, there was no doubt about who the best football player in the world was. Although he loses to Tsubasa, he’s chosen to play for Japan in the Paris World Junior Cup, playing in all of the matches. He originally fought hand-to-hand combat but grew bored of it and was convinced by Mitsuru Sano to play soccer because of Tsubasa. Hiroshi Jito (次藤 洋, kana: じとう ひろし) is a player who plays as a defender for the Japanese national team due to his large size and build. Charlton Athletic were among the ten Football League clubs who chose to adopt squad numbers for the 1993-94 season (with squad numbers assigned to players in alphabetical order according to their surname), before reverting to 1-11 shirt numbering a year later.
