54 years old (Born on August 01, 1970)
Happy Birthday, David James! The man whose gloves have seen more clean sheets than a hotel laundry room—173 shutouts in the Premier League is no small feat. From your legendary 214 appearances guarding Liverpool's net to proudly representing England on 53 occasions, you've truly mastered the art of goalkeeping (and hairstyles!).Even though strikers dreaded facing you for nearly two decades, fans loved every acrobatic save and fearless dive. May this birthday bring fewer penalty shoot-outs and plenty of cake instead—you've earned it after all those years keeping attackers frustrated!
Here's wishing our favorite keeper another year filled with laughter—and zero own goals!
