Aston Villa striker Darren Bent is proud to be wearing the No19 shirt.
Bent has been given Stiliyan Petrov's old jersey, which was retired for one season after the then-skipper was diagnosed with leukemia.
He said: "Obviously No.19 carries a big significance because of Stiliyan. It's a real honour to wear it.
"It's a fantastic feeling. I will try and do the shirt proud and do as well as I can in it.
"What a great player Stiliyan was - he's a top bloke too. He was superb - a brilliant midfielder and a real leader in that dressing room.
"It was awful to see what he had to go through and it was terrible to see his career cut short but he won the real battle.
"He's still around the place. I see him at the training ground quite regularly. We still speak on the phone regularly.
"He told me to look after the shirt - and I promised him I would."
