Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on August 04, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Shannon Cole! You're the only right-back who can sprint down the wing faster than cake disappears at a birthday party. From your dazzling debut with Australia in 2010 to your impressive moves from Sydney FC to Western Sydney Wanderers, you've always kept fans on their toes—mostly because they're trying to keep up with you!

Whether you're defending like a fortress or attacking like there's free pizza waiting at goal, you've given us countless memorable moments. Here's hoping this year brings as much joy and success as that unforgettable first national cap. Keep kicking goals (and cakes)!
