In light of Dennis Wise’s latest barnet we remind ourselves of the worst haircuts to ever grace football
Footballers are well known for doing bizarre things with their hair and here CaughtOffside brings you the worst 10 efforts in the sport’s history, in celebration of Dennis Wise’s new lego-man hair-do.
Enjoy.
Dennis Wise
The Chelsea legend caused a social media frenzy over the weekend with his new choice of hairstyle, which even managed to draw attention away from Chelsea and Manchester City’s astonishing exit from the FA Cup to lower league sides Bradford City and Middlesborough.
Rodrigo Palacio
The Inter Milan forward was a useful addition off the bench for Argentina at the 2014 World Cup, but someone needs to take a pair of scissors to whatever this is.
Giovanni Simeone
The son of Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone was forced to train with River Plate with this monstrosity after losing a bet.
Jason Lee
Renditions of ‘he’s got a pineapple on his head’ are fairly self explanatory for this ex-Nottingham Forest striker.
Joe Cole
For some bizarre reason this former Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham United midfielder thought this was a good idea.
Carlos Valderrama
A great player for Colombia and certainly very distinctive, but let’s be honest this haircut is truly atrocious.
Taribo West
Not really sure what the Nigerian was aiming for here, but it hardly seems worth the effort.
Abel Xavier
For some reason the ex-Middlesbrough right-back decided that the bleached blonde hair and beard combination was the way forward. It’s not.
David Beckham
Over the years the former England captain has had some ropey barnets, but this cornrow look has to be the worst.
Ronaldo
After coming so close to winning the 1998 World Cup, the Brazilian was back in 2002 with this awful haircut and lifted the trophy. Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.
