The number 15 was not generally used the Football League until the number of substitutes permitted to be named in matches was increased from two to three in the mid-1990s. Even then it was only used when clubs didn't use the number 13 for superstitious reasons and it didn't become a regular fixture until the introduction of squad numbers by the Football League in 1999.
