Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on December 11, 1938)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Fred Cox! You kicked your way into NFL history, scoring points and winning hearts with every field goal. From your Pro Bowl selection in 1970 to becoming the Minnesota Vikings' all-time leading scorer, you've truly set a high bar—literally!

Even though it's been decades since you hung up those cleats after an incredible career from 1963-1977, fans still remember your clutch kicks and unwavering consistency. May this birthday be as accurate and joyful as one of your famous extra points—and may life continue giving you plenty of reasons to celebrate between the uprights!
