We're pretty sure that Henry Shefflin's birthday is a national holiday in Kilkenny

To celebrate the feast day of the King and the 10-time All-Ireland winner we've put together some images from every single year of his inter-county career stretching back to his championship debut season in 1999.

The great man is 36 years young today and we'd like to think he hasn't changed too much.

We'll see him again in February for the All-Ireland club hurling semi final.
