Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 17, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Clarence Goodson! You're the defender who made strikers rethink their career choices when you joined San Jose Earthquakes in 2013. Your rock-solid defense and impressive headers have left fans cheering—and opponents scratching their heads.

From your stellar run at Brondby IF with those memorable 60 caps between 2011 and 2013 to anchoring the backline stateside, you've always been a class act on and off the pitch. May this birthday bring as much joy as that epic goal-line clearance or perfectly timed tackle—moments we still replay proudly today. Keep defending birthdays like they're clean sheets: flawlessly!
