Happy Birthday, Dave Whelan! From your legendary days at Blackburn Rovers and Crewe Alexandra to becoming the heart and soul behind Wigan Athletic's incredible rise, you've always known how to kick goals—both literally and figuratively. Your passion for football is matched only by your knack for storytelling; after all, who else could turn a broken leg into an epic tale of heroism?Thanks for giving us unforgettable moments like that magical FA Cup victory in 2013—proof that dreams really do come true (and sometimes even beat Manchester City!). Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success, and plenty more stories worth retelling. Cheers!
