Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on July 08, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Dario Gradi! You've spent more time managing Crewe Alexandra than most people spend deciding what to watch on Netflix. From nurturing young talents like David Platt and Dean Ashton to masterminding promotions that had fans dancing in the stands, your legacy is as timeless as your tracksuit collection.

Even retirement couldn't keep you away—returning briefly in 2008 proved you're harder to replace than a favourite pair of boots. Here's hoping your birthday celebrations are smoother than a perfectly executed passing move and filled with fewer surprises than an FA Cup draw against Manchester United!

Cheers, legend!
