Happy Birthday, Herve Nzelo-lembi! Defender extraordinaire and Congolese football legend—your tackles were tougher than Monday mornings, and your defensive skills smoother than birthday cake frosting. From thrilling matches to memorable caps for DR Congo's national team, you've always shown us how it's done with style.

As you celebrate another year of greatness today, we fondly recall those epic moments when attackers trembled at the sight of you on the pitch. May this birthday bring as much joy as your best victories—and fewer yellow cards! Keep inspiring us all with that timeless spirit; here's to many more legendary years ahead!
