50 years old (Born on January 12, 1975)
Happy Birthday, Richard Rufus! The legendary defender who spent his entire professional career proudly wearing Charlton Athletic's colors from 1993 to 2004. Your loyalty is rarer than a goalkeeper scoring goals—though your unforgettable header in the epic Wembley playoff final against Sunderland still makes us smile!Your defensive prowess and unwavering commitment made you an iconic figure at Charlton. Fans will forever cherish those fearless tackles, timely clearances, and that one glorious goal which secured promotion to the Premier League for our beloved Addicks.
Enjoy your special day—you've defended another year successfully! May it be filled with laughter (and fewer yellow cards).
