Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on February 22, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Marc Wilmots! Just like your unstoppable runs on the pitch for Standard Liège or those magical Schalke 04 days from '96 to 2000—you continue running strong through life’s defense. We still remember how you netted goals faster than we could pronounce "Bundesliga."

Your boots might be retired since 2003, but legends don't age—they just grow a little more classic each year. May today bring joy equal to your impressive tally of career goals (67 at Standard Liege alone!) and fewer yellow cards. Cheers to another epic year ahead with victories off-field as sweet as on-field memories!
