Ermmm...i don`t think it`s Eddy Merckx..(right spelling this time)...he never wore the number six in Le Tour....and only won it 5 times....i say only...like i`d even finish a stage let alone a gruelling marathon

The mystery thickens!!!

I looked up the retired football numbers too and I don't see any reason why #3 should be used on smurfs. Of course it is more than likely something as simple as it happens to be the artists favorite number so all smurfs have to have that number on it and here we are scratching out heads trying to figure it out

Sorry guys, I have no idea why certain numbers were used either.

It would be interesting to know though.
