Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on November 12, 1990)

Happy Birthday, James McCarthy! From your early days bossing midfield at Hamilton Academical back in 2006 to clinching the Scottish First Division title just a season later—your journey has been nothing short of legendary. Who knew that fresh-faced kid debuting for Accies would become such an iconic figure?

Whether you're threading passes or orchestrating play from deep positions, you've always made football look easy (and occasionally left opponents dizzy!). Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy and laughter as watching defenders chase shadows when you're on form.

Cheers to another year filled with success—and fewer yellow cards!
