Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on June 12, 1973)

Happy birthday, Takis! Your legendary defensive skills at Panionios and Panathinaikos were so solid—rumor has it strikers still wake up sweating from Fyssas nightmares. Your moves on the pitch have forever etched a place in Greek football folklore, proving that even defenders can be heroes (and occasionally goalkeepers’ favorite best friends).

Now as Technical Director for the Hellenic Football Federation, you're gracefully showing everyone your tactics off-field too. Even though you left your boots behind, don’t worry—we’re confident there's an official spreadsheet somewhere detailing exactly how you'd intercept a rogue birthday cake today!

Cheers to another brilliant year!
