While obviously your point is about Jordan, allow me to ramble.
For me it will always be a little special, since it was Marco Materazzi's number, and he was possibly the dirtiest player in my time watching the game (and was the one Zidane headbutted in the 2006 World Cup final).
Plus Clint Dempsey wore it at Fulham, and it's often given to the 3rd string goalkeeper on national teams (limited to 23 man rosters).
