For the day that's in it, we want to celebrate Jason McAteer's birthday by collating together some of the best pictures we could find from his career in green, red and white!
In an interview you can watch back in its entirety here, the former Republic of Ireland international and Liverpool player sat down with Off The Ball to reflect on his fascinating career in football.
From his regretful Liverpool departure when Gerard Houllier arrived to his Irish hey-day, it seemed as good a reason on McAteer's birthday to celebrate that career with a look through some iconic images.
