Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on August 03, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Nikos Dabizas! You made centre-back defending look so effortless, your opponents wondered if you'd secretly glued them to the pitch. Whether dominating headers at Newcastle United or holding Leicester City's backline steady, your commitment always brought joy (and frustration) in equal measures—depending on which end of the pitch you supported.

From lifting trophies with Olympiacos and Larissa to forever being remembered for that legendary winner against Sunderland—a goal celebrated by Geordies as more precious than gold—it’s clear your skills aged like fine Greek wine. Thanks for all the unforgettable tackles and headers; have a cracking birthday, legend!
