Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on December 16, 1983)

Happy birthday, Paddy McCourt—the one and only "Derry Pele!" Your lightning-fast feet dazzled the League of Ireland as you led Derry City to three consecutive League Cups. Fans are still talking about those mesmerizing dribbles that left defenders dizzy—some might be spinning out there yet!

Then came your Celtic adventures, where your wizardry on the wing helped secure a memorable Scottish Premier League title in 2011-12. Watching you dance through defenses was better than cake! May your special day bring more joy than scoring against Rangers—and may retirement keep giving defenders everywhere a chance they never had when facing you: safety!
