Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on October 02, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Goran Popov! You're the defender who made strikers rethink their career choices since your Macedonian National Team debut in 2004. Your tackles were tougher than Monday mornings and more precise than grandma's cooking.

From dominating defenses across Europe to proudly representing Macedonia on international stages, you've given fans countless reasons to cheer—and opponents plenty of headaches. May your birthday be filled with as much joy as that unforgettable moment when you first wore the national jersey!

Here's wishing you another year full of laughter, success, and fewer yellow cards—though we secretly loved every single one!
