Further to the player born same year, this’ll take a little bit more research, but which player was born on your birthday, either before you, after you or on exactly the same day as you?

Mine is Youri Djorkaeff. March 9th (me 1962, him 1968)

Unfortunately, it’s also the anniversary of the Burnden disaster.

Just found some footballers, non of which I'd ever heard of.  But actors Christopher Plummer and Dick Van Dyke. Gawd bless yer Mary Poppins.

Looked further into it.

Bobby Sands, Youri Gagarin (wonder if Djorkaeff was named in tribute), Bobby Fischer,  Juan Sebastian Veron, Clint Dempsey, Aloysius  Gonzaga (listed as a saint), Ernest Bevin, Bill Beaumont, Dambuster Johnny Johnson,

Greg Strong, who made 12 appearances for us in the mid/late 90's. I only know because my bedroom wall at the time was plastered with BWFC posters and BEN articles, and I was obsessed with knowing every tiny detail about every single player.

Didn’t he leave under a cloud?
