Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 22, 1984)

Happy Birthday to the remarkable Stewart Downing! You've dribbled, scored, and assisted your way into English football folklore. Your left foot became legendary at Middlesbrough—seriously Stewart, have you insured that magic boot yet?

Whether showcasing dazzling pace and skill during unforgettable stints with Liverpool or Aston Villa—or making defenders dizzy on international duty—it’s clear you've aged like fine wine…or maybe just a consistently good tea.

Stewart, wishing you another fantastic year ahead filled with goals both on-field (in coaching perhaps?) and off it. May today find nets bulging in celebration—just don't injure anyone attempting those funky dance celebrations!
