Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on December 23, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Dan Harding! Defender extraordinaire and Southampton's 2010 Football League Trophy hero—your tackles were tougher than deciding between cake or pie at a birthday party. Whether you were bossing the backline for Leeds United, Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest or Saints themselves, your defensive skills always stood out brighter than candles on a birthday cake.

Now that you're another year older (and wiser?), we hope your celebrations are as legendary as those pitch-perfect clearances and memorable victories. May this year's festivities be injury-free with plenty of laughs—and remember: age is just like defending; it's all about positioning!
