Jake Robinson in Pele link shock!

[Spearritt of the Albion]

It has been stated that Jake Robinson was 16yrs 355 days old when he scored his goal for the first team on 13th October 2003. That would make his birthday 23rd October.

He therefore shares his birthday with the legend that is Pele!!

No wonder he has such a promising future.

But then add the fact that it is also Wayne Rooney's birthday into the equation.............

Chap from Forest Green says that Jake is going to be massive (not because he's going to eat all the pies either)

He was very impressed.

But were Pele and Jake actually born on their birthdays? My son wasn't, strange to tell...

 

[glosterseagull]

?

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

? indeed!

That's confused me. Bed time methinks.

 

[Juan Albion]

No, it is quite simple.

My son was born shortly after midnight (12:21 am) in England. He now lives in North America, which is five hours behind.

So at the precise anniversary of his birth, it is still the day before (7:21pm). Therefore he likes to celebrate on the evening before his birthday, since it is technically more correct. As far he is now concerned, he was born the day before his birthday. So there.

Excellent idea - and I hope Uncle Dick gives him a contract for his birthday too !

Make that 1461 / 1. You forgot about the leap day. Wish I had a tenner on that.
