Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on July 10, 1945)

Happy Birthday, John Motson! The voice behind football's greatest moments—from your iconic sheepskin coat to unforgettable commentary lines—you've made every match memorable. Who else could turn a rainy afternoon into pure poetry or make goal celebrations sound like Shakespearean drama?

Your legendary career spanning from 1971 to 2008 gave us countless classics: the excitement of Ronnie Radford’s FA Cup stunner, Gazza’s tears at Italia '90, and Beckham's free-kick magic against Greece. Even today, fans replay your enthusiastic calls with nostalgia and joy.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, good health—and perhaps fewer offside debates!
