Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on September 02, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Tom Roach! While your AFL career with Richmond may have been brief, your legendary speed and determination on the field left fans cheering and opponents chasing shadows. Your three seasons showcased a spirit that still brings smiles to Tigers supporters today.

Though you hung up the boots early, you've proven there's life beyond footy—hopefully filled with fewer bruises and more birthday cake! May this year bring you as much joy as kicking a goal at the MCG (minus the sweaty teammates). Cheers to another lap around life's oval; keep marking milestones like they're easy intercepts.
