Danny Welbeck turns 35 today, and the timing could not be better for a player who keeps proving people wrong. His impact this season has been clear in several key moments, including Brighton's remarkable comeback at Stamford Bridge that SoftFootball reported on, where he scored twice to seal a 3-1 win at Chelsea.
Another reminder of his quality came earlier in the campaign at Old Trafford when he curled in a free kick against his former club, a moment SoftFootball highlighted in their match report. These flashes of brilliance underline why Brighton fans still see him as a leader and a difference maker.
Welbeck's 35th birthday has everyone talking not just about numbers, but about the journey. Born in Longsight, Manchester, he grew up with strong Ghanaian roots and a quiet determination that caught Manchester United's eye early.
