It remains one of the worst haircuts in football history.
Brazilian super-legend Ronaldo turned up to the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korean with only a little bit of hair on his
head.
The striker, who played for Inter Milan and Real Madrid in his esteemed career, shaved off all his hair apart from a little section at
the front of his head.
Fifteen years after the event, Ronaldo has now discussed why he had that hairdo: My groin was hurting. I was only at 60 per
cent. So I shaved my head.
Everybody was only talking about my injury. When I arrived in training with this haircut everybody stopped talking about
the injury.
Brazil beat Germany in the final to secure their fifth World Cup trophy, while Ronaldo was the tournament’s top scorer with eight goals.
Ronaldo scored both goals in the final.
