Mark's next door neighbor

For some time now (Mark longer than myself), we have been trying to figure out if Mark lives next door to Kenwyne Jones, a 'footballer' who plays for Southampton and who scored two goals in the game we went to last spring. This morning we have finally had closure. Let's explore the evidence:

Exhibit A: He looks like him.
Exhibit B: Drives massive, shiny new Range Rover.
Exhibit C: Has been seen with very nice 'football boots'.
Exhibit D: Gets picked up in very nice cars, one could speculate this is for training.
Exhibit E: Has large red and white tassle hanging from rear view mirror of said Range Rover (Southampton's colors are red and white).

And todays undeniable piece of evidence:
Exhibit F: Has post office delivery slip on his front door with the name: Kenwyne Jones.

If you want to learn the basics about Mr. Jones, there is luckily a wikipedia article about him here. But I can luckily give some extra information about Mr. Jones and his living habits that you won't find here. First of all, despite being a 23 year-old professional athlete, he is very quiet and does not have parties. He is often home in the evenings (or at least his car is). The houses are terraced and the connecting walls are thin, so I assure you its easy to keep tabs. He does not listen to music too often, although on Monday morning he was playing some unrecognizable tunes and singing loudly in the shower (I'm telling you, thin walls people). After watching a bit of news, we learned this was bit of joy was most likely due to him learning that Derby, the team that beat Southampton in the play-offs to get promoted to the Premiere League, made a £5 million bid to get him. I would probably have been singing, too. Sadly for him, Southampton declined the offer, but you can read about it here. For now it looks like he'll be hanging around. It's just nice to have this established before moving north.

its really not that swanky its just in the middle of town and close to the stadium (it is Southampton!)...i guess he's renting it as he's the second person to of lived there and theres been no for sale sign...i guess he thought it would be a short stay...which it looks (hopefully as he's not very good) might be the case (Hi, Kathy!)

It's really not that swanky. If the hood was that nice, you wouldn't be able to hear your neighbors singing in the shower.
