Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on December 08, 1941)

Happy birthday, Sir Geoff Hurst! The only player ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final—1966 sure was your year. You proved that the best way to silence doubters is simply to strike three times, leaving everyone speechless and commentators breathless.

Your legendary career at West Ham United still shines brightly among football's greatest stories: 228 goals in club football? Clearly you mastered turning goalkeepers into helpless bystanders. May your celebrations today be as flawless as one of those unforgettable strikes against Germany—in or out off the crossbar doesn't really matter anymore!

Cheers and happy scoring!
