Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on April 03, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Stephanie Cox! You're the defender who made opponents rethink their career choices and gave goalkeepers peace of mind. From your Olympic gold medal triumph to debuting professionally with Los Angeles Sol in 2009, you've always been a shining star on the field—though rumor has it forwards still have nightmares about facing you!

Here's wishing you another year filled with victories both big and small (and maybe fewer yellow cards). May your celebrations today be as legendary as that golden moment at the Olympics—and may cake calories never count against defenders. Cheers to more success ahead!
