Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on December 25, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Eric Gehrig! From your early days kicking it with Chicago Fire Premier to breaking into MLS glory with Columbus Crew in 2011, you've defended goals and conquered hearts. Your moves on the field have always been smoother than a perfectly executed slide tackle—well-timed and unforgettable!

Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary as your defensive skills and filled with more celebrations than yellow cards (though we know you secretly cherish those too). Keep inspiring us all by showing that age only makes defenders wiser—and maybe just slightly slower at chasing down speedy forwards. Cheers, champ!
