Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on February 06, 1986)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Carlos "The Rock" Sanchez! You've tackled midfield battles tougher than grandma's fruitcake and defended better than anyone guards their birthday cake. From your steadfast years at Valenciennes, through becoming Elche’s unshakeable force in 2013, you've shown us all how a true rock rolls—steady but unstoppable.

Since joining Colombia's national team back in 2007, you’ve given fans countless reasons to cheer (and opponents plenty of bruises). May this year bring more victories on the pitch—and fewer yellow cards off it. Keep rocking that midfield like only you can; age is just another opponent you'll easily outplay!
