With them both wearing the number 25, I wonder if they had a flutter on the total goals scored by away teams in the Highland League the other day?

In 2009, professional English youth academies (aged 16-20 years) were grossly over-represented by players with birthdates in a three-month period. Some 57% of youngsters were born in September, November or December whilst only 14% celebrated their birthday in June, July or August.
