On the pitch, football players like to demonstrate their individuality in several ways. In most instances, players depict a certain image or character to become extra intimidating to their opponents or become marketable to possible endorsement deals. To accomplish this, players frequently use their hairstyles. A crazy and fun haircut is not essential for a good player to advance into an icon. Still, it has facilitated many players into icons for the capability to stand out and be known. This popularity can result in opportunities to feature on television and be added to a list like this one. A haircut’s popularity can be increased by various fans and social media members who try to look for the meaning and motivation behind a variety of haircuts. Below are the ten craziest and funniest haircuts of football players of all-time.

9. Abel Xavier

When it comes to Abel Xavier, we could have selected several types of his crazy haircuts, but this particular one outdid all of them. You would ask why we decided to choose this one, right. We settled for this particular one because he dyed his hair brown at the front, and for the rest of his hair and beard, he used a bleach blonde dye. This resulted in one of the craziest and funniest combination of hair dyes ever to be seen.
8. Ronaldo

Mario has not fully made it as a starplayer but his hairgame has always been on point.
5. Kylian Mbappé Lottin
We all know Mbappé as the superstar that he already is. Every once in a while he likes to spice things up hairwise. As you can see here. He is feeling blue. Incredible stuff to be quite honest.
4. David Beckham

2. Bobby Charlton

1. Gervinho
Gervinho is a professional soccer player from Ivory Coast. He plays forward and is affiliated to Italian Club Parma and Ivory Coats national team. In some instances in life, we need to accept lost causes. Gervinho cannot be judged for declining to accept his baldness. He sometimes wears a giant headband to conceal his baldness.
