Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on November 15, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Brian Shelley! From Shamrock Rovers to Bohemians, Longford Town and Carlisle United—you've defended more clubs than most people have had birthday cakes. Your tackles were legendary; rumor has it strikers still wake up in cold sweats remembering your perfectly timed slide-ins.

Whether you were lifting trophies or just keeping attackers frustrated, you've always been a class act on the pitch. May your celebrations today be as memorable as those epic matches—and may your knees hold out better than some of those forwards did against you! Cheers to another year of great memories and fewer yellow cards!
