Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on October 15, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Bobby Burling! From your first MLS steps with the San Jose Earthquakes back in 2009, you've defended goals and hearts alike. Your tackles were legendary—opponents still check under their beds for you before bedtime!

Through every header cleared and every striker frustrated, you've shown us that defenders truly have more fun. May your birthday be filled with fewer yellow cards and more cake slices than ever before.

Here's to another year of epic slide tackles, unforgettable moments on the pitch, and keeping attackers awake at night. Keep kicking strong—you're timelessly awesome! Happy Birthday, Bobby!
