Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on July 29, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Troy Perkins! You're the only goalkeeper we know who can block shots faster than most people blow out birthday candles. From your incredible saves that earned you MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2006 with DC United to guarding Portland Timbers' net like a superhero from 2011-2012, you've always been our favorite wall.

And let's not forget Montreal Impact—your gloves traveled more miles than most frequent flyers! May this year bring fewer penalty kicks and more cake slices. Keep diving into life headfirst (just maybe avoid doing it near tables full of desserts). Cheers to another legendary season ahead!
