Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on June 04, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Giourkas Seitaridis! The man who defended Panathinaikos' goal like a Greek warrior and sprinted down the right flank faster than fans could chant your name. From Athens to Madrid and back again—your tackles were legendary, your runs unstoppable.

Your second stint with Panathinaikos since 2009 reminded us all why we missed you so much: solid defending mixed perfectly with flair-filled attacks. Atletico's loss was definitely our gain!

Here's hoping today you're celebrating as fiercely off-pitch as you've always played on it—but maybe avoid slide-tackling the birthday cake this year? Cheers to another fantastic season ahead!
