71 years old (Born on March 14, 1954)
Happy Birthday, Brian Smith! From your early days dazzling fans at South Sydney (1975-79) to masterminding game plans for the Illawarra Steelers and Parramatta Eels, you've always been a true rugby league legend. Your coaching brilliance turned ordinary teams into contenders—though we're still trying to figure out how you managed all those sideline antics without losing your voice!Whether it was guiding young talent or passionately pacing along the sidelines like you'd lost something important (perhaps another clipboard?), you've left an unforgettable mark on Australian footy history. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer stressful moments than golden-point thrillers—and plenty of cake instead!
