Nothing messes with your football brain more than learning two players on very different trajectories share a date of birth.
Ruud van Nistelrooy and Patrick Kluivert represent one good example thanks to their different career peaks, but nothing compares to Gianluigi Buffon and Jamie Carragher.
Carragher was born on January 28, 1978. He made his senior debut in 1997 and retired in 2013, moving into punditry and spending a number of years with broadcasters including Sky Sports.
