Officially unofficial commemorations of the birthdays of the stars of our beautiful game.
Today is Peter Crouch's birthday 🦒

Peter started his career with the San Francisco Spurs before travelling to the Toronto Rangers and later hitting the ceiling pretending to be robot and hooking up with pint-sized Page 3 model, Melinda Messenger. Have a slam dunk day Peter!

Feliz cumple to Romario!

Despite being famously introverted and humble, Romario is comfortably in the top 1,000 footballers whose names begin with 'Ro', hot on the heels of the likes of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Roy Keane, Ronald Koeman and Rory Delap.

Wishing this week's Manchester manager*, Ruben Amorim, a happy birthday 🎈

Ruben, named after the sandwich, is aiming to follow in the footsteps of what Arsene Wenger did for the club and is doing so in a quite brilliant fashion.

Happy birthday to Luis Suarez, still Argentina's only ever Ballon d'Or winner 🎉

The Little Magician is fondly remembered for his spell in his own box in London in 2004, where he repeatedly gnawed away at the opposition clubs and ended up with 54 cards for his troubles.

Happy birthday to the former Dortmund, Barcelona and Arsenal CB, Arjen Robben 🎂

Born in his native Belgium 65 years ago, Arjen trod heavily on legos with his left foot in early childhood, which still hurts and is why he was so famously right-footed. Have a good one Arjen!
