Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on June 23, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Patrick Vieira! From dominating midfield battles at Arsenal to lifting the Premier League trophy unbeaten in 2004, your legendary tackles and leadership still echo through football history. Your fierce rivalry with Roy Keane remains iconic—though we're pretty sure even he would send you birthday wishes today (begrudgingly!).

Now as a manager guiding teams from the sidelines, you've shown that class is permanent both on and off the pitch. May your celebrations be as smooth as your passing game—and may no one dare challenge you for that last slice of cake!

Cheers to another year of greatness!
