Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 13, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Yaya Toure! The midfield maestro who made defenders tremble and goalkeepers reconsider their career choices. From your unstoppable runs at Manchester City to lifting trophies with Barcelona, you've always been the powerhouse that turned football pitches into playgrounds.

Three consecutive African Footballer of the Year awards? Clearly you were just showing off by 2013! Whether it's scoring crucial goals or bossing midfields for Ivory Coast since 2004, you're proof age is merely a number—just like those poor opponents left chasing shadows behind you. Here's hoping your birthday cake is as sweet as all those unforgettable victories. Cheers!
