Does anyone have confirmation from a reliable source that Akbay was in fact born on 1 January? Many sites (WorldFootball, EU-football) only list his birth year, presumably because the DOB is unknown, and 1 January becomes the default date in some databases (like Transfermarkt) when the date is unknown.
