Footballers are icons to fans. So many young kids see their favorite footballers on television and want to be like them. This translates into fashion too. People want to be like them, dress like them and have hair like their favorite stars. 

Let's just hope that no kids are looking at these guys before their next haircut...

1. Alexi Lalas

The ex-USA international captain made his most famous appearance in the World Cup of 1994. Where he was made famous forever but not for his football skills. For this terrible monstrosity of a hair 'do'...

2. Taribo West

Taribo West, the Nigerian international defender was famous for wearing his teams colours on hair. When the Super Eagles went to the World Cup, Taribo shocked the world with this work of art.

3. Ronaldo

There is no denying that the 'original Ronaldo' was one of the all time great players in the history of football. You could also argue that his ridiculous haircut from 2002 was one of the worst in human history. Did he forget to do front?

4. Carlos Valderamma

If you saw him play, you wouldn't forget him. Carlos Valderamma, an ex-Colombian international midfielder was also a very capable player. This blonde perm however, which followed him throughout  his career, must have helped and scared a few defenders along the way.

5. Chris Waddle

I hear it was the style of the time but Chris Waddle out-did himself with this mullet. It was a toss up between him and Gazza for this spot but seen as though Gazza didn't blaze a penalty over the bar against the Germans, Waddle rightly takes his place.

6. Jason Lee

It takes some footballers years to have a 'fan chant' named after them. It only took Jason Lee one appearance with the stupendous set of locks for supporters to forever sing "You've got a pineapple on your head!"

7. Andy Carroll

Poor Andy seems to be on everyone's 'Worst Ever Articles.' Well Andy my advice would be to get a decent haircut and start putting the ball in the back of the net. Then maybe everyone wouldn't be calling you rubbish.

8. Rene Higuita

Rene Higuita is more famous for his legendary scorpion kick in a friendly against England all those years ago. Another Colombian with a terrible hairdresser. Someone should have really told him.

9. Gervinho

Gervinho came to England in a blaze of glory after winning the French Ligue 1 with Lille. His move to Arsenal has been somewhat underwhelming but his side-parted-dreadlocks are nothing but sheer genius.

10. Abel Xavier

The Portuguese defender spent some time in England with Middlesbrough, Everton and Liverpool (I have no idea how?). Another one that was not actually known for his clinical defending, more for having a 'glow in the dark' haircut.
