As a follow on to the previous post, let’s examine other great moments in football hairstyle history…
The great Kevin Keegan… if you exclude the Bobby Charlton comb over, this is the guy who started it all. It’s a cracker too. Did he put his rollers in before every game?
No Gazza, this does not make you look cool. You look like a girl.
Juan Toja isn’t the only Columbian with his own personal hairstylist. Before Toja there was Valderrama and Higuita aka suicide goalie.
“He’s got a Pineapple on his head, he’s got a pineapple on his head”. Jason Lee was tortured by fans who constantly sang this to him, to the tune of “He’s got the whole world in his hands”.
I knew there was a reason why they call him Calamity James.
My own personal favorite - the cool slick look ….
This is what he looks like “normally”
Yes, there are others… like Ronaldo’s partial spray-on, Taribo West’s “thematic” beads and to be honest I just can’t keep up with David Beckham’s adventures in cosmetology.
What about the MLS. Well, our very own FC Dallas has sported some classics. Gbandi’s accident with a bottle of red spray paint, Arutro’s cornrows and let’s hope and pray that Ruiz’s barber followed him to Los Angeles.
The outstandingly bad MLS haircut award however can only go to one man - Alexi Lalas.
Typically haircuts like these are associated with low grade actors auditioning for parts as extras in viking and cavemen movies.
Does anyone else feel a coffee table booking coming out of this?
I think I may go down as history as the only person to like Ruiz’s “indian outlaw” hairstyle last year.
Funny you should say that..

Buzz has an interesting post about Ruiz on 3rd degree that in part talks about Ruiz’s “party” lifestyle. After reading that I just have this mental picture of him going out for a night of fun, but waking up the next morning, looking in the mirror and saying “Wow.. I must have been absolutely plastered!”.

Wow.
No “crimping iron” examples? I’m disappointed.
I can’t believe you forgot Kyle…

Sideshow Bob anyone?
Oh, and here’s a pic of Toja’s biggest fan
