Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on November 25, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Wells Thompson! You're the midfield maestro who made soccer look easy—especially when you helped bring home that unforgettable MLS Cup with Colorado Rapids in 2010. Your moves on the pitch were smoother than birthday cake frosting and your tackles tougher than opening stubborn gift wrap.

Even though time passes faster than a sprint downfield, memories of your championship-winning season remain timelessly awesome. May this year be filled with as much joy and success off-field as you've given fans throughout your career—and may every candle blown out today remind you how legendary (and ageless!) you're becoming. Cheers to another fantastic trip around life's field!
