Happy Birthday, Mark Schwarzer! The man whose gloves saved Middlesbrough 367 times from defensive meltdowns between 1997 and 2008. You protected the Boro goal like there was free cake behind you, becoming Australia's ultimate guardian with your record-breaking 109 caps!No wonder Australia loved having you around—your penalty saves were legendary (just ask Uruguay), leaving strikers frustrated worldwide for over two decades. Today we celebrate not just a goalkeeper but an Aussie icon; here's hoping retirement treats you as kindly as the shots you've safely held onto all these years. Cheers to another brilliant year of unbeatable achievements off-field too!
