Day i was born 31/10/1981
Sunderland 0 - 2 Liverpool
Liverpool were awesome then though and won the league that year.
Oldham 3 - 1 Newcastle
Not great for my team that day though my birthday (Halloween) is a pretty bad day for Newcastle. Until 2010 our previous 14 games on my birthday (stretching back to well before i was born) were played 14, won 0, drawn 2, lost 12...
We did then beat some team 5-1 for the first win on my birthday ever, and followed it the next year with a 3-1 win away to Stoke for my 30th
Shame we're **** the rest of the time.
So come on then , anyone got a good result on their birthday? You'll struggle to beat mine!

Born 5:01pm - Sat 26th August 1978 .... We lost 2-0 to Brighton.. My father has never lived it down, he apparently left my mum in Labor to find out the footy results and by the time he got back I'd arrived
Mine was Charlton away which was a 2-2 draw on the 7th of September 1960, a day before I was born..
The day before I was born we beat Leeds 2-1, Cloughie scored twice. The only player on the pitch who kept playing long enough to see was Billy Bremner.
More interestingly, 8 months or so earlier, spurs beat us 5-0 in a cup replay on their way to the double, causing my mam to hate them. I hate spurs much more than my younger brother.
Footballs influence reaches into the womb!

I was born in November 1956 mid week. The weekend before we were beaten 6 - 0 by Preston. That weekend we were beaten again 3 - 1 by Chelsea so that's nine goals conceded that week....lol. At the end of that season we survived relegation just by finishing third bottom (only two went down then).......welcome to the world but most importantly.......welcome to being a Sunderland fan.....
August 63, apparently we got beat in a friendly a week later against Shamrock Rovers. The team was
Jim Montgomery
Cecil Irwin
Len Ashurst
Stan Anderson
Charlie Hurley
Jimmy McNab
Jimmy Davison
George Herd
Andy Kerr
Johnny Crossan
George Mulhall
Substitutes
Billy Richardson 46 (Len Ashurst)
Martin Harvey 46 (Stan Anderson)
Brian Usher 67 (Johnny Crossan)
Nick Sharkey (Andy Kerr)
Ambrose Fogarty 46 (Jimmy Davison)
There's only really Monty who I remember having seen play out of that team, although I've obviously heard lots about Hurley/Anderson etc.
We'd come 3rd the season just before, and missed out on promotion, but the 63-64 season we did get back to the 1st division, coming second to Leeds.
Losing to Shamrock Rovers though, what a start!

My lad was born while Everton were beating Man U in the 95 cup final. He could have waited a few hours.
Tragic season, that. We were clearly the best team in England, and just about everybody's favourites to win the title. But then, at the end of March/beginning of April, our striker, Dickie Davis got injured ... and we didn't have an adequate replacement. We tried Ivor Broadis for one game, but Ivor always played too deep for a striker. Next, our Scottish international right winger, Tommy Wright, tried his hand, but that didn't work too well either. Finally, we tried a reserve (whose name escapes me just now) and he wasn't up to the first division. During that April, we lost four straight games - three in the league and got knocked out of the Durham Senior Cup by Darlington at Feethams about 4-0 or 4-1. And bang went our title! In May, Davis came back, and, as you say, we began winning again. But it was too late. Portsmouth retained their title, and Wolves jumped into second place.
That injury to Dickie Davis was surely one of the most costly we ever had.
Just love your knowledge mate
Me dad could go way back Aswell
That 5-0 defeat followed one of the most exciting games in Roker Parks long history, we were 2nd division, they were a team full of international talent, that went on to win the double, captained by the famous Danny Blanchflower. 60,000 packed the ground that afternoon, a sell out, hundreds had queued all night for tickets when they went on sale, including my long departed non de plume. The game itself was a tremendous contest, a real cup tie, Alan Brown had started to introduce his young guns into the first team and we gave them a right shock, sadly it ended 1-1,but against all the odds we almost won it. Danny Blanchflower went on record as saying it was the loudest crowd he had ever heard, describing the sound as frightening after we scored. Sadly as too often , it was a case of so close and yet so far. But no one who was there will ever forget it, its right up there in my top ten games at Roker Park.
