Some people say our life is influenced by what song was #1 on the day you were born.

I did some of the players:

Ashley Cole - (Just Like) Starting Over - John Lennon -John Lennon
John Terry - Super Trouper - Abba
Steven Gerrard - Theme From M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless) - Mash
Wayne Rooney - The Power Of Love - Jennifer Rush
David James - The Wonder Of You - Elvis Presley
Peter Crouch - Imagine - John Lennon
Joe Cole Every Liitle Thing She Does Is Magic - The Police

[Latina]

David James must be even older than I thought.

[English Bob]

Hmmm, mine was I Just Called To Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder

Not sure what that means.

[chrysostom]

Jamo was born to the song they now play at the Emirates...perhaps he'll end up going to Arsenal to get ahead of Almunia?

[Bonanzoid]

David James is 39. Mine was Orinoco Flow by Enya. Never heard of it.

[Nicola_Red]

Never heard of Enya? How many times has Moyles played Clannad when he's been takingthe piss out of Matt? You people are all so young *sniff*

[Bonanzoid]

I've heard of Enya, just not that song.

[Nicola_Red]

That was her only solo hit, wasn't it? Or maybe not...

[chrysostom]

She did do something like the whole of the LOTR trilogy did she not?

[Latina]

I've heard of Enya, just not that song.

You'll probably know it when you hear it.

[Johnny 1989]

I've heard of Enya, just not that song.

You'll probably know it when you hear it.

Here you go Bonanzoid, you should recognise this one now, mind on the other hand is awful: Paul Young - Wherever I Lay My Hat, That's My Home

That was her only solo hit, wasn't it? Or maybe not...

She had a few in the late 80's/early 90's:

Orinico Flow (1), Book Of Days (10), Anywhere is (5) & Caribbean Blue (13) of which, see if you can spot the ex-EastEnders actress in the video:



She had a few other hits as well, but they charted between 20-40 in the UK charts

[foot-loose]

David James is 39. Mine was Orinoco Flow by Enya. Never heard of it.

Boo boo boo sail away sail away sail away - you can dadadadadadadaadda da da da da dah etc etc

That one.

[Bonanzoid]

I listened to a few seconds of it and it was gash, however Foots' post made me recognise it. Honestly.

[John22]

Mine is Spaceman - Babylon Zoo

[DevilsDuck]

damn you john.........DAMN YOU!

Thats an awsome song!

[jocky85]

ha mine was Jennifer Rush - The Power of Love

I have a CD with the number 1s for every birthday

[MK Chris]

You have a CD with everybody's birthday number 1? But that's... that's every number 1 there's ever been, how big is the CD?!

[jocky85]
