Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on July 16, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Srecko Katanec! A defensive maestro who tackled opponents with ease and lifted trophies with style. From dominating the Yugoslav First League with Partizan to clinching Serie A glory at Sampdoria, your career was as solid as your tackles—firm yet fair!

Whether commanding midfield battles or anchoring defenses, you always made it look effortless. Here's hoping your birthday celebrations are smoother than your legendary slide tackles and more memorable than that championship-winning season in Italy. Cheers to a true football legend whose legacy remains timeless—just like those classic defensive moves of yours!
