Ross Barkley was born while I celebrated my 11th birthday. Interestingly enough, I was bought a goal AND a Sondico football from Toys ‘R’ Us. Also, date fans will be fascinated to learn that this was the first time my birthday had fallen on a Sunday since I was born.

Coldplay released A Rush of blood to the head on my 18th birthday, which seemed like it might be a major event at the time but in retrospect definitely wasn’t.
