On My Birthday Meme

I was tagged for this birthday meme post by Rhoda Reviews about a year ago (it's not that long ago but it feels like it- sorry!) The meme originally started here at thefivefsblog and if you are going to do your own of these then link it up there as she's trying to get every day covered.

So anyway open wikipedia and here we go...

When is your birthday?

1st of May.

Pick three people that share your birthday and what you know about them.  

Matt Di Angelo, 1987

Well known actor for his roles in Eastenders and Hustle. He also has been in Strictly Come Dancing. Oh and did I mention I fancy him? ;-)

Marc-Vivien Foé, 1975

Cameroon footballer who played for Lens, West Ham, Lyon and Manchester City. Sadly he died during a match for the FIFA Confederations Cup.

Ray Parker Jr, 1954 

American guitarist, songwriter, producer and recording artist but he's more well know for this song (one of my favourites as coincidence goes!)

Is anyone listed as being born on the same day (ie same year)? If so, what do you know about them?

I already knew one of these. 

Alexander Hleb 

This was the one I knew, Hleb is a Belarusian footballer and played for Arsenal before moving onto Barcelona. He currently plays for Krylia Sovetov.   

The others are Derek Asamoah (Ghanian footballer) and American Footballer Wes Welker.
