I wonder if he actually celebrates it or he's just sitting there looking glum while others are singing Happy Birthday.

I'd say it's his birthday, so he should put his feet up, but who knows what that means in his house...

Had no idea it was his birthday toeday.

47?! That sucks. It feels like only yesterday he was hanging off the edge of the box waiting for a nibble.

This video makes me yearn for a 442. Wingers high up the pitch, strikers running into channels. Getting around and in behind the opposition.

Sure teams with 3 in midfield would look to dominate possession against you, but if you have enough quality to get the ball wide quickly then no team likes defending against a team with two wingers pushed high and two CFs attacking the box.

47... ffs.. Kanu is still only 45.

He always did like to have a bit of nibble after the ball was gone

Ruined his legacy by sucking his daughters toes. Every time he's mentioned at the minute it's all you can think about!

Wonder if he's had a nice big mouthful of toes for his birthday this morning.

Jokes. Loved him as a player, would bring peak Scholes back over almost any former player right now.

Best midfielder and one of top 3 naturally gifted players I've seen. Don't even need to go into sub categories like best shooter, passer etc.

Happy fecking birthday.

I was about to react and say he will always be a legend, but i cannot argue. The first thing that comes to my mind now is toes and the image of him munching on them. What a player though, no one quite like him out there.

He was God for me on the pitch.


Sad reality is we prob not see anyone as good as in midfield for us again.
