Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on February 16, 1971)

Happy birthday, Marco Sas! The rock-solid defender who made Bradford City's defense shine brighter than the club's floodlights back in '96-'97. Your tackles were tougher than stale Yorkshire pudding—yet your smile after those perfectly-timed clearances charmed even rival fans.

Though you've traded sliding challenges for celebratory cake slices these days, we fondly remember all 31 games you bossed from the backline at Valley Parade. Here's hoping this year is filled with more success (and less running) as you enjoy relaxing instead of chasing speedy strikers downfield! Raise a glass today to celebrate being forever young and always legendary. Cheers, Marco!
