Happy Birthday, Joel Veltman! Just like your steadfast tackles on the field since rising through Ajax’s ranks (and joining Jong Ajax on loan in 2013), may you effortlessly sweep aside any candles blocking your cake. Your defensive talents shone brightest when donning orange for the Netherlands national team back in 2013 — clearly they knew a legend was entering their defense!As timeless as those crunching sliding challenges you deliver match after match, so too are our good wishes for even greater success ahead. May this birthday bring less yellow cards and more goals—just remember: scoring at least once won't steal away that classic defender charm of yours!
