Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on December 15, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Steven N'zonzi! May your celebrations be smoother than your legendary passes and more memorable than your debut with Amiens SC back in 2007. From bossing the midfield at Stoke City since 2012 to gracefully orchestrating play across Europe's top leagues, you've always made football look easier than assembling IKEA furniture.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as that glorious World Cup triumph with France in 2018—because let's face it, lifting trophies suits you even better than intercepting opponents' passes. Keep dazzling us on the pitch; after all, age is just a number—but class like yours is timeless!
