Best Athletes by Number According to Sportsnet Magazine

Name the best athlete in history to have each jersey/car number!
I take no credit (or blame) for this ranking. I got it from Sportsnet Magazine's 12/08/2014 issue
Use the number they are most famous for using, if they had more than one
Football = American Football
