Toulouse Wish Zlatan Ibrahimovic a Happy Birthday with Bizarre, Hilarious Letter

The legend of Zlatan Ibrahimovic grows. 

So much so that now even rival clubs are wishing him a happy birthday in very bizarre, almost Zlatan-esque fashion. 

Mid-table Ligue 1 side Toulouse jumped on the Happy-Birthday-Ibra bandwagon by means of a message posted on their website (in French). 

Who Ate All The Pies did the honours of translating the rather odd message fitting for the now-33-year-old's birthday.

Dear Zlatan, 

Today is a special day for you and so, indeed, for the whole of France. What are we talking about "the whole of France?" For the entire planet! 

We can only applaud your visionary talent. Anyway, Oh Great Z, know that despite the perverse pleasure that you could take in scoring goals against us these last two seasons, we are not vindictive. 

We want to thank you. For everything. On the one hand, we thank you for the breath of fresh air and madness you blew into the Ligue 1 (and all over France). For there is no need to love football to know the reputation of the Hunter of Malmo! 

Ligue 1 now not only knows you, but she loves you.  

Next, we thank you for Zlatanmania accompanying each of your appearances at home, in Toulouse, and everywhere elsewhere in the province. 

You make dream football fans, young and old, but not just that. Now, mums, sisters and cousins also want to come see the Ibrahimovic phenomenon. 

Therefore, on this day of celebration, we're sending you a surprise gift parcel which we hope you will delight you and your offspring. 

You'll find a balm to heal your heel pain, two of our jerseys with your kids' names on as well as a shoot-em-up video game you love so much. 

Also, [ex-OGC Nice defender] Renato Civelli will slam a kiss on your neck the next time he visits you at the Parc des Princes. An honourable kiss, obviously. 

Happy birthday and long live the Z! 

TFC

The club did indeed follow up on their gift gesture. Video evidence is here. 

A bon anniversaire for Ibrahimovic, indeed.
