Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on October 07, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Simon Poulsen! Celebrating the amazing left-back whose soccer journey began way back in 2002 at SønderjyskE—proof that defenders really do age like fine wine. From tearing down flanks to dominating tackles, your legs never seemed tired even if your opponents always did.

Since joining Denmark's national team in 2007, you've tackled more forwards and made more saves on goal lines than we've eaten birthday cakes. Keep smashing records (and occasionally ankles) because no matter how many candles are on that cake today, Simon—you’re still faster down the wing than we’ll ever dream of being!

Cheers, legend!
