El Hadary is considered the best goalkeeper to wear the national team jersey as he played an important role in winning three consecutive Africa Cup of Nations titles between 2006 and 2010. 
 
The player nicknamed the High Dam also had a successful journey on the club level, having won a raft of titles with Al Ahly between 1996 and 2008. 
 
El Hadary etched his name in the history books when he became the oldest player ever to participate in the World Cup when he lined up against Saudi Arabia at the 2018 World Cup at 45 years and 161 days. 
 
Happy birthday Essam El Hadary.
