Title: Dean Ashton Post by: Papa Smurf on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 09:04:35 It's no urban myth reg, it's all true.
Title: Dean Ashton Post by: janaage on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 09:08:50 I heard that Dean Ashton was in fact raised by wild elephants in the Kenyan safari lands. He was lost by his parents at the age of 2 on a family holiday and was only found when Mike Walker the ex-Norwich manager took a break to Africa for a little sole searching in the mid 90's, after his sacking from Everton. Dean, after living with Dumbo and friends for 17 years was reunited with his family.
So it should be Kenya, not us, who should be kicking themselves.

Title: Dean Ashton Post by: janaage on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 09:14:25 D'oh, I thought that's how you spelt it when your talking about the fish. I stand corrected. I bow in honour of your greater knowledge of fish.
Title: Dean Ashton Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 09:34:16 Quote from: "Papa Smurf" It's no urban myth reg, it's all true. Rothmans doesn't list Ashton as from Swindon.....have you ever met anyone who's said I went to school with Ashton, and was better than him in those days, or I played against Ashton for the school team, bugger never got a kick that day. Title: Dean Ashton Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 09:35:43 I don't think it is an urban myth, I think he really was born in Swindon but if you hear him speak he clearly didn't spend much time in the town if any as he sounds like a dirty northern bastard.

Well if its the case how come Rothmans and Playfair don't say that Ashton was born in Swindon......these two are the most reliable generally available stat books. Title: Dean Ashton Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 09:38:48 I'm going to join the Dean Ashton pen pals.

Title: Dean Ashton Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 23:28:56 Crewe....signed for them as a schoolboy.
Title: Dean Ashton Post by: yeo on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 23:32:53 Born in Swindon wasn't he.
