Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on September 14, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Gunter Netzer! You dazzled us all with your legendary midfield magic and flowing locks—scoring 108 goals in 297 appearances for Borussia Monchengladbach. Winning back-to-back Footballer of the Year awards in Germany (1972 & '73) was impressive enough; doing it while maintaining that iconic hairstyle? Truly timeless!

From orchestrating West Germany's midfield between 1965-1975 to becoming a footballing icon whose flair remains unmatched, you've always been ahead of the game—even when famously substituting yourself into matches without permission! May your birthday celebrations be as bold and unforgettable as those daring runs downfield. Cheers to you, maestro!
