Happy 60th Birthday Ian Wright!

It's a big day for English football legend Ian Wright - he's officially turning 60 years old! For those who've been following him throughout his career, it's a reminder of how far this man has come in the past few decades.

From humble beginnings growing up on an inner city council estate in south London, Ian Wright established himself as one of England's brightest stars with spells at Crystal Palace, Arsenal and West Ham United in the late 1980s and 1990s. He was renowned for his pacey runs down the wing or through the middle of the park and possessed an eye for goal that made him a feared opponent.

Fast forward to today, Ian Wright is still celebrated by fans all over the world, thanks to his appearances in various radio and television shows, including Match of the Day, A League Of Their Own and The Wright Stuff. He has also written four books: "My Life In Football," "Wrighty: My Story So Far," "Ian Wright - It's Only A Game" and "I Am The Wright Idea."

All of us here at GoForItGames.com would like to extend our warmest wishes on Ian Wright's 60th birthday and of course, we're hoping he'll be enjoying one of our 60th birthday games as part of his celebrations. Here's to many more years of success and entertainment! Happy 60th Birthday Ian! 🎉🎂🥳 Let's celebrate this milestone together! 🤩

Happy 70th Birthday Peter Mandelson!

Today marks a very special day for Peter Mandelson: he is turning 70 years old! For the last 70 years, Peter has made incredible contributions to British politics and public life. He was born in London in 1953 and joined the Labour Party in 1976.

He has held a number of high-profile political positions, including Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and European Commissioner for Trade. He was instrumental in brokering the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which led to peace in Northern Ireland after more than three decades of unrest.

As well as his impressive political career, Peter is also known for his writing and speaking skills. He has written books about British politics and appeared on television numerous times as a pundit or guest commentator. A man of good taste, we hope he will mark 70 years of age with a round or two of our 70th Birthday Game!

Peter's 70th birthday marks a major milestone and here’s wishing him all the best!
