Former Manchester United fullback Fabio da Silva was the subject of a serious wind-up from his Cardiff City teammates this week.
The Bluebirds defender, who turned 24, was greeted by German flags decorating his allocated area in the changing room.
The birthday surprise was revealed by Craig Noone on his twitter account:
