Criteria:
I used the 'Get Directions' function of google maps to come up with these numbers. (Example -- Stewart Downing -- Middlesbrough, England to Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough, England = 1.4 miles rounded to 1 mile). So technically these numbers aren't 'as the bird flies' but are the driving distances to the stadiums from the center points of each birth city.
