Akinfeev and Bellarabi are the only high profile footballers with the same birthday as me. George Puscas as well but I don't think may will know of him, he is on loan to Benevento from Inter.

Here's my 5-a-side team.

--- Gabriel Batistuta --------- Giuseppe Rossi
--- Darren Fletcher ------ Sir Stanley Matthews
--------------------Christian Ziege-----------------


If I need to have a non-footballer in the team, I'll take Harry Styles. I'm sure he's decent at football.

...yes, I’m bored and I wanted to create attention for my birthday since I’ll be spending it alone, 3,000 miles away from my family and friends:angel:

Edit: see thread mark below and build a 5 a-side team, with 1 non-footballer allowed.
Cheers, I just learned that I share a birthday with American serial killer Scott Erskine but on the plus side covid got him.

Also Noel Edmonds.

Edit, also the one and only Mark Robins.

Happy birthday :)
From what I googled, Leroy Fer is probably the most relevant footballer who shares my birthday (Jan 5th)
