5 worst hairstyles of 2016 by footballers

Only Ronaldo Lima could make that terrible hairstyle fashionable

No one had quite done it like Ronaldo in the semi-final against Turkey in the 2002 World Cup. No, I don’t mean his performance, I’m talking about his haircut! The vaguely triangular shaped patch of hair on his forehead was a monstrosity that few have forgotten today. However, this year some football stars pulled out some wacky hairdos that could possibly rival the great legends.

While some on this list are but obvious choices, there are others who miss out because theirs weren’t hideous enough. Paul Pogba fans will be grateful their hero escapes the list. While his experimentations with hair are entertaining, they can’t always be labelled as ugly.

Aaron Ramsey is also forgiven for his platinum blonde hair in Euro 2016, because, c’mon he’s a good looking guy. Others, however, have not, especially one very famous man who’s had quite a topsy-turvy year. Stay tuned to find out who’ on the list of 5 worst hairstyles of 2016:

#5 Phil Jones

If attention was what he wanted, he sure got it with his makeover

So, Ramsey dyed his hair platinum blonde for the Euros this year and people made plenty fun of him. The memes, trolls and jokes were endless. But then came Manchester United centre-back Phil Jones. The 24-year-old followed suit for reasons unknown and coloured his hair a whitish blonde.

Now, Jones has always been this regular, simple bloke so to see him with a shock of blonde hair was truly horrifying. Whether he decided to go for a makeover because he was left out of England’s Euro squad or because he just wanted to catch the attention of his new boss, Jose Mourinho, Phil Jones sure stood out. And it wasn’t pretty. Good thing his hair is back to normal now!

At least Phil Jones hair is brighter than his career at #MUFC. Can u imagine the face he pulled when he first saw his reflection after that
