and we ended up buying the wrong one? Official website has him being born in '85, every other site has him born in '82. There's a difference in someone being a raw talent at 22 y.o and being a raw talent at 25. I've never booed him though.
I think it's definetly the official site that's wrong. The date of birth they have for him on there means he made his league one debut at 14. The date given everywhere else makes it at 17.
When working in Nigeria, I received CVs from applicants who if you added their schooling and work experience together would have been at least 55. Their date of bith indicated that they were 22. So it is probably anybody's guess what age he is.
