The Afro XI: A team of footballers with afros

Footballers and weird hairstyles have long been part of football. From the best to the worst, there are some truly radical haircuts in football.

The Afro remains a very popular style amongst footballers, and a lot of them sport it these days.

On that note, we decided to compile our own XI of footballers with afros!

GK: David James

Former Portsmouth keeper David James, more popularly known as “Calamity James”, is one of those footballers who love to experiment with their hair, and he manages to pull off quite an afro!

RB: Rio Ferdinand

The less said about Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand’s afro, the better. All we can say is, Rio, the bald look suits you better!
