Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on November 16, 1974)

Happy Birthday to the Ginger Maestro himself, Paul Scholes! The man whose precision pass had more accuracy than my GPS and who famously made tackling look hilarious—mostly because we're pretty sure he was never actually trained in it. Your remarkable career with Manchester United, glittering with 11 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, and countless jaw-dropping volleys remains an inspiration (and intimidation) to midfielders everywhere.

These days you're scoring goals on TV screens rather than Old Trafford turf—still shaping matches through insightful commentary and blunt honesty. May your birthday cake be sweeter than that volley against Barcelona!
