BORN ON THIS DAY: DANNY WELBECK


Born on this day is former Sunderland, Manchester United and Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck. The ex-England international is still plying his trade in the Premier League, playing for Brighton.


Welbeck came through Manchester United’s coveted academy, making his Premier League debut in November 2008 as a substitute in a 5-0 win over Stoke City. The forward marked his debut with a stunning curled strike from 30 yards out, aged just 17 at the time.
