AnwserThe reason why David Beckham changed his number is because in his early years of soccer his favorite NBA player was Michael Jordan. Michael's number was 23. Thus David changed it. Also when he plays for Milan his number is 80. ( Ronandihno No. 80)

Beckham chose to wear number 23

Ruud Van Nistelrooy occupied the number before he transfered to Real Madrid.

Well, the number 10 jersey was vacant for a whole year before Rooney took it. The number 8 jersey which he occupied is typically not used by attacking players like Rooney; it is usually used by midfielders (mostly defensive). The number 10 is a number that is usually reserved for attacking players, strikers, or what the Italians call the fantastista - the player in the hole behind the striker, like Francesco Totti - and this is what Rooney is. There is also a sort of prestige that is associated with wearing the number 10 jersey - famous number 10s include zidane, platini, ronaldinho etc
