Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on September 28, 1988)

Happy birthday, Lee Collins! From your ironclad defending that earned you over 120 appearances with Port Vale to effortlessly sliding into Northampton Town's backline in 2013—you're proof defenders can age like fine wine (or at least run gracefully enough not to get carded on their birthdays).

Today we celebrate all those timeless tackles and iconic clearances you've provided fans throughout the years. Here's hoping this year brings as many triumphant headers, crowd-roaring moments, and hilarious pitch-side antics as before; because legends may retire someday—but a defender’s witty charm remains forever undefeated. Cheers on turning another fantastic page of trophy-worthy memories!
