70 years old (Born on October 19, 1954)
Happy Birthday, Big Sam! From bossing the pitch at Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion to masterminding tactical triumphs at West Ham United, you've always been football's favourite larger-than-life character. With four Premier League Manager of the Month awards (August 2001, November 2003, January 2004, December 2006), your trophy cabinet must be as packed as your legendary defensive lines!Whether it's pulling off miraculous escapes or charming us all with that trademark grin on matchday interviews—your style is timeless. Here's hoping this birthday brings you more joy than a last-minute winner against rivals. Cheers to many more seasons ahead!
