    It was my birthday yesterday and while listening to the radio the host was talking about celebs who were born on this day.....Kenny Cunningham and Fabian Barthez were two soccer players he mentioned.

    But then I remembered that whenever I got a new sticker album I would first check who shared the same birthday.

    I would then go through the album to see like who was the oldest/ youngest player and who was the tallest/smallest player.

    Anybody else do this ...............or was I just a strange kid.

    Don't worry I did the exact same thing. Checking the heights and weights of each player to see who was the heaviest and lightest. I remember I got a subscription magazine thing called football magic. I used to love it, I must have had about 6 folders full of stats, jokes pictures stickers everything. I still remember my favourite joke from my childhood from that book.

    Why did the manager flood the pitch? To bring on a sub.

    Mind you I only have 1 of these folders left, have no idea where the rest are.

    Oh I miss this.

    :pac:

    Jokes, I used to do the same although I'll have to goggle if any players share my birthday.

    Used to check height & weight stats too, just for trivial matters really.

    Only know this because Fifa 2012 informs you of players birthdays on the day and I'm obviously going to remember the ones that are on my Bday.

    Oh and I think most people did the weight height things.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,711 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    Always used to do it. I remember in my sticker collecting heyday Craig Forrest of Ipswich was always the tallest player in the album.
