Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on September 29, 1981)

Happy birthday, Manu! Another year older and still diving gracefully—though rumor has it you're now saving cake slices as skillfully as penalties. Ever since joining Elche in 2012 after your impressive stint at Alcorcón, you've been guarding the net like it's filled with paella rather than goals.

From spectacular saves to unforgettable clean sheets, you’ve given fans countless reasons to cheer (and opposing strikers plenty of sleepless nights). May this birthday bring fewer yellow cards and more golden moments on the pitch. Keep those gloves sticky and reflexes sharp; here's hoping your celebrations today are easier catches than some shots you've faced!
