Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on December 14, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Jakub Blaszczykowski! The man whose name commentators fear and fans adore. Your lightning-fast runs down the wing have left defenders dizzy for years—rumor has it some are still spinning from your Dortmund days!

From electrifying goals at Borussia Dortmund to leading Poland with passion as captain, you've given us countless unforgettable moments on the pitch. Whether it's that stunning strike against Russia in Euro 2012 or your tireless dedication every matchday, you continue to inspire.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success, happiness—and maybe fewer tongue-twisted announcers struggling over "Blaszczykowski." Sto lat Kuba—you legend!
