Robbie Earle of Wimbledon fame.

Think he was born in Stoke, kev. He's certainly got the accent.

i reckon i'm going to call it a day on this thread. i've told people for years that earle was born in moss side and was a city fan.

I think he might have been a City fan. That certainly rings a bell. You do know that black people aren't all born in Moss Side, don't you ? ;-)

My old man always used to say this, he was born in and went high school in Stoke though. Reckon you're getting mixed up with Efan Ekoku, he was born in Cheetham Hill.

I thought it was Crewe but his Wikipedia says he was born in Swindon and brought up in Holmes Chapel, not far off.
