Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something a bit different – the birthdays of famous soccer players, specifically those born on July 6th. I found this to be a fun little project, and I wanted to share my process with you all.

First, I started by just doing a general search online. I typed in things like “famous soccer players born July 6” and “soccer players birthdays July 6” into a search engine. This brought up a bunch of different websites that listed birthdays of famous athletes and celebrities.
Then, I started to compile a list of names. I went through a few of these websites, and whenever I saw a soccer player born on July 6th, I jotted it down. I noticed some names appearing more than once, so I figured those were probably the more well-known players.
Some Names That Kept Popping Up
- Ze Roberto – This name came up a lot. I recognized it immediately as a famous soccer player.
- Rory Delap – Another name that was mentioned multiple times.
- Jonathan Rodriguez – I saw this name mentioned as well.
After getting a decent list, I wanted to find out a bit more about these players. I searched for each name individually to see what teams they played for, what positions they played, and any other interesting facts.
For example, I found out that Rory Delap played for Stoke and was a midfielder. Also, I learned that one of the web sites I found listed other famous players that were born in July, such as Kane, Bale, and Van Dijk.
I also looked for some broader information about soccer player birthdays. I found a couple of websites that had big lists of celebrity and athlete birthdays, sorted by profession and month. It was interesting to see how many famous soccer players were born in July. I even saw big names like Messi and Ronaldo on some of these lists, though not born on July 6th.

Finally, I decided to make a note of some other sporting stars born on July 6th. I found that Panathinaikos defender Cedric Kante was born on July 6th, 1979. I also found an old article that listed a defender named Leo born on July 6th, 1975. It was fun to find information on different stars and the different years they were born.
So that’s basically how I spent my time exploring the birthdays of famous soccer players born on July 6th. It was a fun little dive into the world of soccer, and I hope you enjoyed hearing about it!
