Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on August 16, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Roque Cruz! Another year older, yet still smoother than your legendary headers and sharper than those unforgettable goals. Paraguay's favorite striker ages like fine wine—classy on the pitch and timelessly cool off it.

From lighting up stadiums in Europe to becoming Paraguay’s all-time top scorer, you've given fans countless reasons to cheer. Your iconic moments at Bayern Munich or Blackburn Rovers remain etched in football history; defenders still wake up sweating from nightmares of marking you!

Here's wishing you a birthday filled with laughter, joy—and fewer candles than career goals scored! Keep kicking life's challenges into the net.
