We have taken it upon ourselves to commemorate all players who have represented Barnet Football Club, assigning them a unique number to denote their part in the history of our club.

We have compiled this list based on players who have represented the club that exists today which started as Alston Works FC in 1901, with the first competitive match being played against Tottenham Phoenix in November 1902.

None of this work would have been possible without the contributions of Tony Hammond, John Erroll, John Snow and Rob Cavallini, whose books are an incredible source of information back to the very beginning of Barnet FC.

We have a full explainer on the history of the club prior to 1901 on the About page which also defines what we are classing as competitive and non-competitive matches.

To ensure players are assigned legacy numbers correctly and sequentially, we have applied the following criteria.

- Players making their full debut (starting a game) in the same game as another player are listed alphabetically.
- Players making their debut via a substitution are listed in order of the minute they entered the field of play, then alphabetically if the substitution occured in the same minute.

Below are the Legacy Numbers in full.
