So Greaves wore mostly 8 for England. I'm fairly sure he wore mostly 10 for Spurs, but also wore 8 sometimes

Just search some photos of the players (google) and look at the numbers they wore. ;)

[musicl]

Best was number 11 for Man Utd.

[Seedorf]

Johan Cruyff was 14. That's all you need to know.

You have to separate modern players and non-modern players when you're talking about jersey numbers. It wasn't too long ago that the starters would be assigned numbers between 1 and 11 based on their position in the lineup, and the subs would get 12 and 14 - although a star player would generally have a preferred number.
Even now, most European and South American national teams follow this convention for friendlies and WC qualifiers, starters wearing 1-11 regardless of their preference.

...Charlton...
Bobby or Jackie?
