Let's make this birthday one to remember.

31 years old (Born on September 16, 1993)

Happy Birthday, Sam Byram! From your memorable debut with Leeds United in 2012 to scooping up both the Players' Player of the Year and Young Player awards by season's end—your versatility and brilliance have consistently shone brighter than a freshly polished pair of football boots.

You've defended like a fortress, attacked like lightning, and ruled midfield battles smoother than cake frosting. May your celebration today be as epic as that breakout 2012-13 season (but please avoid sliding tackles when blowing out candles!). Here's wishing you another fantastic year ahead filled with more goals—and fewer yellow cards. Cheers!
