Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on February 02, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Silvestre Varela! May your celebrations today be filled with more flair than your sensational late-game winner against Denmark at Euro 2012. Porto fans won't ever forget the pace and power you've showcased down those wings since joining in 2009—creating dazzling goals, breaking ankles (and probably some hearts) along the way.

From rocking that iconic blue-and-white jersey to proudly representing Portugal on football's biggest stages from 2010 onwards—you've done it all with grace and style. Here's wishing you a birthday that's as unforgettable as your legendary career so far—but hopefully much less exhausting!

Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
