Born on a match day?

We beat Charlton 1 - 0 the day before I was born, in August 1978.

Sunderland drew 0-0 with Stoke a couple of hours after my little boy was born. I tried to sneak over the match but got collared!
 
Beat Sheffield Utd at home 3-1 3rd April 65 and drew with Everton away 1-1 on 10th. I was born in the middle so my dad didn't miss a game.
 
Out of season.
But having just checked, I was born a week after we beat Celsea 4-1 at home to finish 3rd in (old) division one.
Things were better under George VI.
:)
 
There's been a match on my birthday about 90% of the time since I was born on Boxing Day 1966. My Dad was on the way home from the match when I arrived at 5 pm. In the old days they didn't play on boxing day If it fell on a Sunday.

Edit: We beat Villa 2-1 at Roker.
