Happy Birthday, George Boateng! From bossing the midfield at Aston Villa to becoming a legend at Middlesbrough, your tackles were tougher than grandma's fruitcake and your passes smoother than birthday cake icing. Those four appearances for the Dutch national team between 2001 and 2006 might have been brief—but hey, quality over quantity!Your time with Boro from 2002-2008 was legendary—fans still reminisce about those fearless performances that made opponents tremble (and referees reach nervously for their cards). Here's hoping today brings you as much joy as you brought fans on matchdays—and fewer yellow cards! Cheers to another year of greatness!
