Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on October 02, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Luke Wilkshire! From your fearless tackles at Dynamo Moscow to those epic runs down the flank with Feyenoord, you've always been a defender opponents dreaded and teammates adored. Who could forget your debut for Australia back in 2004? You made defending look cooler than scoring goals!

Here's hoping today brings you as much joy as that unforgettable World Cup run or every time you shut down an opposing winger effortlessly. May this year bring more success off the pitch—though let's face it: nothing beats seeing you sprinting upfield like it's still 2014.

Cheers to another legendary lap around life's field!
