Footballers' Haircuts Summary

Footballers' Haircuts: The Illustrated History by Cris Freddi

Nowadays, hardly a week goes by without the front pages being overtaken by pictures of David Beckham's latest hairstyle. Being hailed recently as 'the most influential man in Britain', and an all-round style icon, it's easy to forget just how many follicular catastrophes have graced the heads of previous footballing generations. So now, here they all are, in their full ' glory' celebrating 100 years of amazing 'dos in over 80 photographs, all complimented with fascinating player anecdotes and incredible football tales. From pre-war pudding bowls to the pampered perms of the Premiership, they're all here. The awesome Afros, dodgy dye jobs, blush-worthy bleaches and the absurd extensions. The highlights, the lowlights, and not forgetting, of course, the ultimate footballers' haircut, the magnificent mullet. From the hairstyle hits to those which missed by a mile, discover just who had the most horrific hairdos in football and be thankful that no one knows that you had that haircut too.

Footballers' Haircuts Reviews

'Called, straightforwardly, FOOTBALLERS' HAIRCUTS, Cris Freddi's illustrated history proves itself to be a fine tome of great follicle learning, with some remarkable examples of manes to have featured in British football over the years ranging from the plain ridiculous (hello, Chris Waddle) to the mightily impressive (yo, the Afro-sporting George Berry, late of Stoke and Wolves).' THE SCOTSMAN 23/8/03 'What horrors lurk within FOOTBALLERS HAIRCUTS. Legends such as Charlton, Keegan, Beckham and Venison rub mullets, mohicans, perms and comb-overs with forgotten gems such as Noel Brotherston (poodle tails above each ear), Robert Bruce (Eddie Munster), Alan Biley (Rod Stewart meets Toyah Wilcox) and Rodney Fern (a bit of everything). Terrifying, hilarious, horrible and brilliant. If your hairdresser has a copy, run a mile.' TIME OUT 20/8/03 '... this pocket-sized book offers the chance to relive some of the worst horrors, and chart the changing styles, if you can call them that... enjoyable compendium of follicular atrocities.' FOUR FOUR TWO (Nov '03) 'It won't win the Booker but still a hoot and its size is stocking-friendly. All the usual comb-deviants represented with a foreword provided by mullet maestro Chris Waddle.' THE SCOTSMAN (20/12/03)
