Sorry mate, but Accra is a city of like 4m people. Not really a small area :p

I wasn't immediately that convinced by this, as what I'm talking about is people growing up close within an area of about 1 square mile. But it seems that, Juanma aside, all those guys grew up in the Bairoa area, as did Julian Solis.

So that would make my list of impressive areas so far - Brownsville, New York, Bairoa, Caguas & Cass Ave, Grand Rapids.

Yeah, although they've apparently decided to try and get good at boxing recently (hence Barrera going over there a few years ago). They'll probably take over boxing in about 25 years. Which won't be too bad because they'll probably take over the world in 15 :p

Speaking of China...

La Liga - Lost in translation: Chinese brand Ronaldo 'arrogant' - Yahoo! Eurosport

Ok then how about Carl Thompson and Amir Khan both from my town Bolton England.Also Tony Ekubia lives a few hundred yards from me.
Bolton is a town not a city.
