Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on January 26, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Ian Branfoot! From your fearless tackles at Sheffield Wednesday to those memorable runs down the flank with Doncaster Rovers and Lincoln City, you've always been a fullback who knew how to keep attackers guessing. Rumor has it forwards still wake up in cold sweats remembering your perfectly timed challenges!

Though it's been some time since you hung up your boots (1977 feels like yesterday!), fans haven't forgotten the passion and grit you brought onto the pitch every matchday. Here's hoping today brings as much joy as that unforgettable goal-line clearance—timelessly brilliant, just like yourself. Cheers, Ian!
