Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on August 26, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Fred Barber! You spent your career expertly guarding the net through 406 appearances from 1982 to 1999—proving that goalkeepers truly age like fine wine. Your legendary saves and fearless dives made strikers tremble (and occasionally laugh at those iconic masks). Even today, fans fondly recall how you turned penalty kicks into comedy routines.

Though gloves are hung up now, your legacy remains timeless. May this birthday bring fewer aches than diving on frozen pitches did back in the day—and may every slice of cake be as sweet as denying a striker's dreams. Cheers to another year undefeated by time!
