What next?

What would Sir Alf Ramsay have thought?  The Times reports:
From Taribo West’s green strands and Romania’s bleached bonces to Neymar’s courgetti cut the World Cup has long hosted absurd hairstyles.
Mercifully, England’s class of 2018 will not be adding to the tally because they have invited their favourite barber to Russia and he has vowed to ensure that none of Gareth Southgate’s squad turn out with a look they will regret.
Peter Cranfield, founder of the Cutthroatpete barber shops, was asked to fly out to give squad members, among them John Stones, Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier, a pre-match trim. “Millions of people will be watching,” he said. “These lads are walking out of the tunnel with my haircut so if they are asking for something that I think won’t work for them then I will tell them. I don’t want them to look daft.”
It would not go amiss if they spent more time thinking about how they play and less about how they look.
