Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on February 08, 1968)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Joy Fawcett! You defended goals better than most people defend their dessert plates at a buffet. From your incredible run with Team USA, winning two World Cups and Olympic gold medals, you showed us all how defense truly wins championships.

Whether it was Ajax or San Diego Spirit, opponents knew they'd have an easier time sneaking past airport security than getting by you on the field. Here's hoping today you're celebrating like it's 1999—because let's face it: nobody parties harder (or defends tougher) than a soccer legend named Joy! Have an amazing birthday!
