Let's make this birthday one to remember.

35 years old (Born on November 22, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Chris Smalling! From your early days at Manchester United in 2010 to becoming a defensive rock, you've always been there—blocking shots and occasionally scoring headers that surprised even you. Who could forget those crucial tackles or the times when attackers bounced off you like ping-pong balls?

Now thriving in Italy with Roma, you're aging finer than Italian wine itself. Your recent successes prove defenders only get better—and funnier—with age. Keep bossing strikers around and making defending look easy.

Here's wishing you another year of clean sheets, epic clearances, and maybe one accidental goal celebration dance!
