46 years old (Born on October 23, 1978)
Happy Birthday, Archie Thompson! The man who once scored 13 goals in a single match—yes, thirteen!—making defenders everywhere reconsider their life choices. Your legendary performance in the 2004 OFC Nations Cup still haunts goalkeepers' dreams and remains an unbeatable trivia question at every Aussie pub quiz.From dazzling fans at Marconi Stallions to becoming Melbourne Victory's beloved striker, you've always had a knack for finding the net (and our hearts). May your birthday be filled with as much joy as you brought to Australian football—and hopefully fewer offsides than your opponents claimed. Cheers to another year of greatness, Archie!
