Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on May 02, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Zat Knight! From your towering debut as Fulham's steadfast defender back in 1999 to those unforgettable headers that made strikers reconsider their career choices, you've always stood tall—literally and figuratively. Your defensive prowess was legendary; attackers still wake up sweating from nightmares of trying to outjump you.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with more joy than a last-minute clearance off the goal line. May this year bring you success sweeter than scoring against Chelsea (we know you'd love that!). Keep defending birthdays like they're corner kicks—strongly and stylishly. Cheers to another fantastic season ahead!
