Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on September 05, 1979)

Happy Birthday, John Carew! From dazzling goals at Rosenborg to thrilling fans in Valencia and Beşiktaş, you've always known how to score—in football and life. Whether it was your towering headers for Aston Villa or those unforgettable moments with Lyon and Roma, you made every match memorable.

Today we celebrate not just the legendary striker from Lørenskog who conquered stadiums across Europe but also a man whose charisma off the pitch is as impressive as his footwork on it. May your birthday be filled with laughter (and cake)—just remember: unlike defenders trying to mark you, calories do count!
