Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on July 24, 1986)

Happy birthday to the defender who's always got opponents feeling "Afful"! Harrison Afful, your journey from joining Esperance Sportive de Tunis back in 2009, to becoming one of Ghana's defensive gems since your debut with the national team in 2008 has truly been legendary.

From showing attackers that their fancy footwork won't stand a chance against you, to helping Ghana sparkle brighter on football’s global stage—your epic tackles and spectacular clearances have given us timeless memories. May this year bring as many victories (and fewer yellow cards) as possible!

Enjoy celebrating today; just like your defensive brilliance—age doesn't slow greatness down!
