    Nope - that would've been my guess also but I think he was born in Jamaica.

    It's a good pub question this <ok>

    Anybody else want to take a guess?

    I might as well give the answer - I thought there might be a few interesting guesses...


    It was Jorge Cadete - he was born in Mozambique.

    Mine was a genuine question as well. :emoticon-0101-sadsm ... and the answer, to the best of my knowledge, was Mohammed (Mo) Sylla who was born in Cote D'Ivoire, West Africa.
