Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on November 27, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Bruno Alves! You're the only defender who tackles opponents and scores goals with equal enthusiasm. With 29 career goals by 2013, you've proven defenders can indeed have fun too—especially when soaring above everyone else for those legendary headers.

From Portugal to Fenerbahçe S.K., your fearless style has left strikers trembling and fans cheering. Whether it's a crunching tackle or an unexpected goal celebration, you always keep us entertained. May your birthday be as timeless as your aerial duels—and may you continue scoring both on the pitch and in life (just don't tackle anyone at the party)!
