Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on September 25, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Siphiwe Tshabalala! The man whose left foot is so legendary it should have its own holiday. Ever since your unforgettable rocket goal in the 2010 World Cup opener against Mexico—still giving goosebumps to fans worldwide—you've been South Africa's favorite midfield magician.

From debuting with Bafana Bafana back in 2006 and dazzling crowds at Kaizer Chiefs from 2007 onward, you've consistently shown us that age truly is just a number (though we suspect you might secretly be aging backwards). Keep kicking goals—and defying gravity—with style!

Here's wishing our beloved "Shabba" another year of epic celebrations!
