Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on May 23, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Richard Hill! Another year older, but still tackling life with the same relentless energy you showed on the pitch. Your legendary performances as one of England's greatest flankers—especially your pivotal role in securing that unforgettable 2003 Rugby World Cup victory—remain timeless highlights we all cherish.

May your birthday celebrations be smoother than your tackles and more memorable than those epic battles against rival forwards. Here's hoping this year brings fewer bruises and plenty of laughs; after all, you've earned it by spending years making opponents wish they'd chosen a different sport!

Cheers to you, Hilly!
