Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on February 24, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Jason Akermanis! May your celebrations be as spectacular and unforgettable as your legendary handstands after a Lions victory. We still fondly recall that iconic 2001 season when you dazzled us all, clinching the Brownlow Medal with flair and charisma—proving once again that blondes really do have more fun (and apparently win more medals).

From electrifying goals to cheeky banter on-field, you've always kept footy fans entertained. Even though it's been years since those glory days at Brisbane Lions from '97-'06, your legacy remains timeless. Here's hoping this birthday brings you plenty of laughs—and maybe another chance for an epic handstand encore!
