Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on December 19, 1986)

Happy birthday to Ryan Babel, the man who brought flair and firepower onto the pitch! From dazzling Anfield fans with your electrifying pace for Liverpool FC, to becoming a staple presence in the Netherlands' billboard of soccer heroes—you've dribbled straight into our hearts. Who could ever forget that sensational strike against Manchester United in 2008? Some goals are timeless; yours belong firmly among football's brightest moments.

You're not just iconic haircuts and witty social media banter—though frankly speaking those alone would guarantee legend status—but also resilience personified. Cheers to another fabulous year where you continue delivering brilliance both on (and definitely off) field!
