Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on July 16, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Eddie Thompson! Even as chairman of Dundee United, you knew how to juggle financial sheets better than a footballer with fancy footwork on the pitch. Your dedication and passion brought countless memorable moments—and perhaps one or two grey hairs—in ensuring our club soared high.

Indeed, your leadership transformed challenges into triumphs; we fondly recall those thrilling matches under your guidance when victory tasted sweeter than birthday cake. May this special occasion remind everyone that like fine whisky (or stubborn defenders!), some things really do get better over time—just as you've gracefully matured another year today! Cheers!
