I was born in 1981 on the 10th March. Exactly the same day as Samuel Eto'o although he went on to achieve more than me (in a sporting sense so far anyway).

Seeing the state of the current British Heavyweight Champions, both would of been a presence in this era. Of course neither was a John L. Gardner, the premier British Heavyweight of the time, along with the forgotten Bugner.

Emile Heskey was 3.

Paul McGrath was playing for St.Pats.
