"I was born on the seventh day of the week, seventh day of the month, seventh month of the year, seventh year of the century.
I was the seventh child of a seventh child, and I have seven brothers; that makes seven sevens.
On my 27th birthday, at a race meeting, when I looked at the race card to pick a winner in the seventh race, the horse numbered seven was called Seventh Heaven, with a handicap of seven stone. The odds were seven to one. I put seven shillings on the horse.
It finished seventh."

One of the great classics!
