Ronaldo, Neymar, Tevez and Hagi share a birthday – are they the greatest team?

FEBRUARY 5 is the day to be born if you want your son or daughter to be a professional footballer – or so the legend goes.

Over the years, SunSport has highlighted today as the day that the universe has decided to sprinkle an extra bit of magic on those twinkle toes.

If today is your birthday, then you could be part of a five-a-side team that also includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Carlos Tevez and Gheorghe Hagi.

Other pros celebrating today include Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Vedran Corluka, Adnan Januzaj, Patrick Roberts and Billy Sharp.

We don’t know who would go in goal and there’s not many defenders among that lot, but you certainly wouldn’t want to see that lot turning up at your local 4G on a Thursday night.

SunSport don’t do things by half so we decided to set out to find the best ‘birthday team’ of them all.

Unfortunately, that was a lot more work than we initially anticipated so we did do it by half and just decided to just list the best five players born on every day in a year.

That was still a lot of work, and we do really want to know if anyone can take February 5’s crown, but we had to get sleep at some point.

Could Lionel Messi‘s June 24ers – Messi, Darwin Nunez, Micah Richards, Kevin Nolan and David Alaba – challenge Cristiano and Co in the battle of no keepers?

Or would the more balanced but frankly comical combination of Eden Hazard, Jan Oblak, Antoine Semenyo, Wayne Routledge… and Grant Leadbitter (January 7) end up top of the pile?
