Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on August 17, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Phil Jagielka! The centre-back whose tackles are tougher than deciding between tea or coffee in the morning. Since swapping blades for blue shirts in 2007, you've tackled through seasons harder than a stale biscuit and scored goals sweeter than grandma's pudding—who can forget your iconic late-minute screamer against Liverpool?

You've worn England colours proudly since 2008, reminding forwards everywhere that age is just another stat— like clean sheets or awkward goal celebrations. Keep chasing attackers as enthusiastically as you chase candles on birthday cakes; here's wishing you fewer yellow cards and more brilliant memories ahead! Cheers to Jags—the ageless defensive legend!
