Happy Birthday, Alen Boksic! May your celebrations today be as graceful and effortless as those legendary chip shots you often floated perfectly over puzzled goalkeepers. Whether dazzling fans at Juventus, clinching glory with Marseille or becoming Middlesbrough's hero, your knack for subtle creativity still brings smiles and applause from us all.

Here's hoping that life continues treating you kindly; after all these years evading tackles and elegantly placing goals into nets—or above them—may today's cake fly gently onto your plate without effort!
