Worst Hair in Soccer - Hair Do's and Hair Don'ts - where do these football players fit in?
Balotelli - clearly the best
Ronaldo - clearly the worst
Baggio, Fellaini, Neymar and more
3. BAGGIO’s Dead
Animal
Italian legend Roberto Baggio had a ponytail like no other. Frankly, I‟m
surprised no one ever cut it off thinking he was being attacked by a rabid
varmint. The only thing heavier than his hair has to be the weight of missing a
PK in the 1994 World Cup final. The best description I‟ve heard for his hair is
that it looks like a dead animal is clinging to his neck.
6. Benoit Assou-Ekotto-
Sideshow Bob
Having already tried
braids, cornrows, a full „skin head‟ and
what we‟ve pictured here nicknamed
Sideshow Bob. In 2013 he‟s been
going with zig zag braids that turn into
a fluffy ponytail in the back. A real
nightmare.
8. Balotelli
Mario Balotelli is a hair stylist‟s dream customer.
He surely changes it more than any other soccer
star. I could easily fill an entire page with all the
looks Brand Balotelli has already tried.
Personally I like the colors of the Italian flag, but
he also has gone blonde, blonde
mohawk, spiked and many other designs.
9. Glen Johnson
Glen Johnson of England and Liverpool likes corn I guess. For me corn
rows look a little silly on an adult. It reminds me of a high school girl that
just got back from a Caribbean cruise. If you don‟t want to have to mess
with your hair just grow some dreadlocks like Bob Marley. Then again
David Beckham had corn rows too, but he married Posh Spice so his
judgment is obviously questionable.
10. Carlo
Valderrama’s
South American
Rainforest
I would argue that no player in the history of
football has been more recognized by his
hair than Carlos Valderrama. The
Columbian has had his iconic hairstyle
forever. Even though he is now 51, he was
featured in a 2012 commercial with Mario
Balotelli. Then in March 2013, Twitter went
crazy when it was rumored that he had cut
his hair.
13. Marouane Fellainiask Rat Nest
Everett teammate Tim Howard who told
Kickette that, “It‟s a rat‟s nest…but a
lovable rat‟s nest. Especially when he
showers, he gets out and his soaking
wet hair is all flat. Gradually it starts
growing and takes on a life of its own.”
14. Looks like he has Snapea Crisps
on his head!
Taribo West
15. Ronaldo
The original Ronaldo with what might
be the worst haircut ever. He was so
great in the 2002 World Cup that many
young Brazilian‟s actually got this style
as well. I guess one could argue it was
a minimalist masterpiece? Not
really, that would be the shaven head.
There is nothing beautiful about it. He
quickly returned to a shaven head. We
can only assume he came to his
senses.
16. Ronaldinho – Soul Glo
drenched Jerry Curl no way to
go through life. Ronaldinho has been rocking
the same nasty jerry curl
forever. I wonder how much
Soul Glo he uses on a
monthly basis. I certainly
wouldn‟t want that to hit my
face while on the pitch.
Probably causes acne. Could
you imagine what Joey
Barton might do or say if you
had to defend Ronaldinho all
game? I
18. Rudi
Voller
Somehow German legend, Rudi Voller, thought the curly mullet was a
good look. Throw in that mustache and surely no father would ever let
his daughter be alone with him. The fact this mullet is so finely permed
is outstanding. In the 1990 World Cup Frank Rijkaard and Voller got
into it on the pitch. Rijkaard spit in his hair more than once. Hard to
blame him as it looks disgusting enough a place.
