Why did Ossie Ardiles wear the number 1 shirt at the 1982 World Cup?

Question

Argentina assigned their numbers alphabetically (all except for Diego Maradona and Mario Kempes, who wore nos. 10 and 11 respectively) and so Ardiles took the no. 1 shirt, and goalkeepers Hector Baley and Ubaldo Fillol wore nos. 2 and 7 respectively.
