Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on January 23, 1962)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Stephen Keshi—the toughest defender who somehow managed to score an astonishing 51 goals! If defenders had a scoreboard, yours would simply say: "Oops, I scored again!" From your iconic tackles in the '80s and '90s (and let’s face it—epic hairstyles), you've always kept opponents guessing. Did you think you'd confuse us by being both solid on defense AND dangerous up front?

Sixty-four matches for Nigeria later, we're convinced you're secretly a striker disguised as a defensive icon. Today we celebrate not just another birthday but every header gone right and every cleared ball turned goal-bound rocket!
