Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on October 16, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Steve Buckley! Your impressive run of over 320 caps with Derby County proves that defenders age better than fine wine—though the knees might disagree. Fans still reminisce about your fearless tackles and cool-headed clearances; rumor has it forwards used to pretend injury just to avoid facing you.

Your dedication on the pitch left rivals frustrated and supporters cheering for nearly a decade. Even though football keeps changing, legends like yours remain timeless. May this birthday bring laughter, great memories of glorious days at Derby County—and no yellow cards from referees at your party! Cheers, Steve!
