The story of Karel Poborsky is a remarkable one.
From his iconic chip at Euro 1996 and having his Manchester United career stunted by a certain David Beckham, to defying all odds to overcome a life-threatening brain condition, it's been quite the ride for the Czech legend who turns 50 on Wednesday.
Poborsky will forever hold a special place in the hearts of the people from the Czech Republic having broken barriers and helped put the nation on the map. Three years after the country was formed following Slovakia's move to independence, the wild-haired winger - who now sports a more stylish look - lit up Euro 1996 and inspired his newly-established team to a run to the final.
