From The Guardian:
Christian Ziege: Is this the worst World Cup mop chop of all time? It certainly leaves a burning pain on your retina. Either a lame rip-off of Dave Becks's 2000 mohican, or a strip of gaffer tape in the national colours, this barnet set the standard for others to follow.
Taribo West: This Prodigy-esque effort was as green as the Nigerian flag; what a lovely, proud gesture. Pity it stopped him heading a last-minute equaliser against the Swedes in 2002, eh?
Ronaldo, and Umit Davala: Dear Lord, this pair must have cost Korea/Japan photographers a few lenses. Note to this year's crop: lopping off random sections of hair does not look good.
Dan Petrescu: As a result of beating England in France '98, power went to the Romanian squad's head. They dyed their hair blonde to a man (will the real Shady haircut please stand up?) and then proceeded to get dumped out of the Cup by Croatia in the second round. Here then-Chelsea man Dan points at a colleague with a more ridiculous look than his own.
Carlos Valderrama: No list of follicular follies would be complete without the barnet king. Obviously a fan of "fluffing", this Colombian export had a 'do which, when placed at the right angle, could block out all light from the sun.
Chris Waddle: Ah, Italia '90. A terrible tournament for great football, but a great one for terrible haircuts. Here, Chris Waddle (pre-semi-final reinvention) shows that it wasn't only his dribbling style that was slightly unorthodox.
Rudi Völler: Not many people can carry off a bubble perm, and Rudi certainly isn't one of them. But that didn't stop him undertaking a good 15 years of curling.
Brazil 1978: Collecting the team award, the boys in yellow arrived in Argentina with every type of terrible haircut known to man. From afros, to perms, to rank curtains, they're all there. When Argentina pipped them to a place in the final, the whole world broke down into grateful tears.
Bobby Charlton: Even in 1966 Bobby didn't have a lot of hair with which to create a horrifying style. But he did his best. Practising the combover wherever possible, Bobby tried to pretend he wasn't short on top and, as you can see by this photo, he fooled everyone but those flying overhead.
