Easy enough to work out. DOB 25/10/75. Fits in with his signing for Leeds as a kid in 1991 where he became the youngest player in the history of the game to score 500 career points. If you want to dispute his age, fair enough, but it only makes you look foolish.

Not everyone tells the truth about their date of birth, you know.

Certainly but that only works when someone suddenly appears on the scene and not when his entire playing career can be followed all the way back beyond signing for Leeds and through his days as a young kid at Siddal. Ah, that's it, when he played as a junior he was really 25!

His early playing days were disrupted due to him being sent out to fight in the Battle of Trafalgar

He couldn't play on Mondays because he had to collect his pension from the Post Office.
