Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on October 07, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Madjid Bougherra! You're the only center back who can tackle opponents and birthdays with equal finesse. Since 2004, you've defended Algeria's goal like it's your personal treasure chest—no wonder strikers still have nightmares about facing you!

From epic World Cup battles to leading Algeria as captain in unforgettable matches, your legacy is timeless. May this birthday bring fewer yellow cards and more cake slices; after all these years of brilliant defending, you've certainly earned it.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success on and off the pitch—and remember: age is just a jersey number!
