Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter is celebrating his 89th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.
Popular politician-journalist Sepp Blatter has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 89th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Blatter, a cultural icon
Born Joseph Blatter in Visp on March 10, 1936, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Swiss history. Blatter's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Sepp hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sepp Blatter as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 89.
Happy Birthday, Sepp, you're the best!
