Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on November 15, 1983)

Happy Birthday, John Heitinga! Everton's legendary center back who joined the Toffees in 2009 and quickly became a fan favorite. Your fearless tackles and rock-solid defending made opponents tremble—and fans cheer louder than ever. Who could forget your incredible performances that earned you Everton FC Player of the Year honors in 2012? Clearly, attackers still have nightmares about facing you!

As another year passes by, we hope your celebrations are as memorable as those epic moments at Goodison Park. May this birthday bring fewer yellow cards but plenty of cake—because even defensive legends deserve sweet victories! Cheers to you, Johnny!
