Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on August 16, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Alan Hodgkinson! You're the goalkeeper who always knew exactly where to stand—so much so that strikers probably thought you had psychic powers. From 1954 to 1971 at Sheffield United, your positional play was legendary; attackers must have wondered if you'd secretly glued yourself between those goalposts!

And let's not forget your five appearances for England's national team—you didn't just guard goals; you guarded our pride too. Today we celebrate a keeper whose reflexes were quicker than birthday candles blowing out in the wind. Cheers to another year of being perfectly positioned—for cake and celebrations this time around!
