Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on January 21, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Ross Abbey! Another year older and still quicker off the mark than most of us mere mortals. Whether dominating as a fearless halfback flank or tirelessly running circles around opponents as ruck rover for Footscray, your legendary moves on the field remain timeless—much like your hairstyle back in the day!

May this birthday bring you more joy than kicking that perfect goal or pulling off those unforgettable tackles. Here's hoping you're celebrating with fewer bruises but just as much enthusiasm.

Cheers to you, Ross—forever young at heart and always a Bulldog legend through and through!
