Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on August 14, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Richard Parks! From dominating the rugby pitch and leading Leeds to their first-ever Powergen Cup title in 2005, you've always tackled life's challenges head-on—literally. Your fearless leadership on the field made history and inspired countless fans.

Not only did you conquer opponents on match days, but your influence extended far beyond sports when Business Insider named you one of Wales' 100 Most Influential People in 2012. Clearly, whether it's scoring tries or scaling mountains (quite literally!), you're unstoppable. Here's wishing a legend who never drops the ball an epic birthday filled with laughter—and hopefully fewer bruises than usual!
