While watching the Blackburn v Liverpool game tonight, out of curiosity I decided to google Yakubu, who I thought was well into his 30's. I was surprised to see his Wikipedia state he was born in November 1982. The reason I googled Yakubu was because of my suspicions of Obafemi Martins' real age. I always wondered because Martins and Yakubu seem to have been around forever, and after a bit of browsing I then came across this article in the Guardian, which I found a very interesting read and a real eye opener. I was suspicious, but I had no idea it was this bad with what goes on in that part of the world.
