Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on January 31, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Yves Makabu-Makalambay! Just like your impressive height, you've stood tall in goals from Chelsea to Swansea City and KV Mechelen. You've spent a career making sure opponents knew exactly how hard it is to get past you—often stopping balls easier than we stop eating birthday cake.

Here's wishing today's celebrations are as memorable as those remarkable saves we've admired over the years. May this year find more success heading straight into your safe gloves; after all, the future holds many victories yet—and age only makes keepers better seasoned (though perhaps not faster!). Enjoy every delightful moment today!
