Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on September 25, 1980)

Happy birthday to the towering Nikola Žigić! With your height alone, defenders always knew you were head and shoulders above the rest—literally. Named Serbian Footballer of the Year in 2007 after dazzling crowds at Racing Santander, you've proven that greatness truly comes from above.

From powerful headers that seemed closer to dunking basketballs into nets than traditional football strikes, to unforgettable moments on pitches around Europe—you've given fans memories taller than even yourself. So here's wishing a legend who reached dizzying heights both figuratively and literally another amazing year. Keep standing tall (it's impossible not too)!
