Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on September 06, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Amir Hossein Sadeghi! The defender who tackles opponents as fiercely as he tackles birthday cake—cleanly and without hesitation. From your memorable return to Esteghlal in 2012, you've shown us that second stints can indeed be sweeter than the first. Your defensive prowess has made strikers reconsider their career choices since 2005.

Whether it's shutting down attackers for Tractor Sazi or proudly representing Iran on the international stage, your dedication is legendary. May you continue defending goals—and birthdays—with style and humor. Here's hoping this year brings fewer yellow cards and more golden moments! Cheers to you, champion!
