I were born in New Delhi. The correct word is "was" I was
you were
he/she/it was
we were
you were
they were****************** In colloquial English, spoken quickly, sometimes it would sound like "I w'born in Delhi." - which is rather like "I were born in Delhi."

I think the above poster means 'professional football players'. They don't play soccer in Essex. https://youtu.be/2sD_8prYOxo[unless he means Essex MD. or Essex MA.]

Towan did not say that the ' professional football players' were from Essex. Don't forget, he lives in Texas.
