Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on January 27, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel! Celebrating the man with one of football’s greatest names — and a striking talent to match. From kicking off your career at Vitesse in 2008, scoring goal after delightful goal at Utrecht from ’09 onward, to dazzling Norwich City fans since 2013—we’ve watched you weave magic through defenders (and pronunciation challenges alike!).

As seasons pass by quicker than opposing defenders trying—and failing—to mark you tightly enough, may your celebrations always outrun age itself! Here's wishing continued success on every pitch and endless enjoyment off it. Cheers for another year scoring victories both hilarious and legendary!
