Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 29, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Jean Makoun! You're the midfield maestro who tackles birthdays just like opponents—calmly, confidently, and always with style. Ever since you joined Stade Rennais in 2013, you've been defending goals as fiercely as your cake from hungry teammates!

From proudly representing Cameroon since 2003 to bossing the midfield battles across Europe’s stadiums—you've shown us all how it's done. May your birthday be filled with fewer yellow cards and more golden moments of laughter.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success on (and off) the pitch—and remember: age is just a number...like jersey numbers!
