There are very few players in the world of football are superstars in true sense. People still are in awe of Ronaldinho and David Beckham, but one name always will be spoken in the same breath by fans and pundits alike. Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A cult hero and a loud mouth he is , are just the tip of total Zlatanmania package that is synonymous with the Swedish captain. He celebrated his 33rd birthday this week and such is his persona that even rival clubs can’t stay away from it.
French club Toulouse FC gave him a letter and gift package to mark his
The excerpts from the letter are as follows -
"And so, indeed, for the whole of France. How's that for the whole of France? For the entire planet! Yes, today is your birthday. 33 years, the age of Christ your son."
It also thanks Ibrahimovic for bringing "Zlatanmania" to France and concludes with:
Happy Birthday and long live the Z!
TFC
PS: Far be it from us to send you this present pending any gesture from you but still, we hope that when playing the second leg in February, you'll remember our attention ;-)
Ibrahimovic's club PSG thanked their fellow Ligue1 club on twitter for their special gesture.

As evident it is, there will never ever be any other Zlatan Ibrahimovic. If anyone wants to be the like him then the challenge is open as the maverick aptly says #DareToZlatan.
We at The Football Mind also wish him a belated happy birthday!
