Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on February 09, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Andrey Yeshchenko! The legendary left-back who sprinted into our hearts faster than he ever dashed down the flank for Anzhi Makhachkala back in 2013. Your tackles were tougher than Russian winters, and your crosses more precise than a babushka's knitting needles!

From joining Russia's national squad in 2012 to becoming a defensive stalwart, you've shown us that age is just a number—though we suspect you're secretly powered by borscht and sheer determination. May your birthday celebrations be as memorable as your epic slide tackles and may you continue defending life's goals with style. Cheers to you, Andrey!
