Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on July 09, 1988)

Happy birthday, Raul Rusescu—Romania’s very own goal-getting machine! You're such an elite striker that even the candles on your cake can't stay upright; they dive faster than keepers facing your penalties. From claiming Romanian Footballer of the Year in 2012 to lifting two Liga I titles with FC Unirea Urziceni and Steaua Bucuresti, you’ve given us unforgettable moments.

Whether you're elegantly slotting home a winner or casually clinching league trophies (remember that epic 2008-09 run with Urziceni?), you've always shown class and flair. Here's wishing you endless joy off the pitch—and may celebrating today be easier than scoring against rival defenders!
