Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on June 17, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Shaun MacDonald! You tackled midfield battles better than we tackle cake at celebrations. Who can forget your glory-filled days at Swansea City—lifting the Football League Trophy in 2006 and making every pass look smoother than icing on a birthday cake?

Then came Bournemouth in 2011, where you continued running circles around opponents with energy that makes younger players beg for mercy (and fitness tips!). May your day be filled with smiles as wide as the goalposts and laugher louder than fans cheering from those memorable victories.

Here's to you, a timeless talent who's aged like fine football boots—perfectly seasoned!
