Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on February 04, 1973)

Happy Birthday, James Hird! You're officially scoring another goal in the game of life. With 343 goals over an incredible 15-year run at Essendon F.C., you've certainly kicked enough footies to earn a lifetime supply of ice packs and bragging rights.

From your legendary Brownlow Medal win to captaining Essendon through unforgettable victories, you’ve given fans countless reasons to cheer (and opponents plenty of headaches). May this birthday be as epic as your best marks—high-flying, memorable, and celebrated by everyone who appreciates true greatness on the field. Here's hoping today brings fewer tackles but just as much applause!

Cheers!
