Hair we go... fans flock to get Foden cut as Three Lions roar
ENGLAND roar into action at Wembley this afternoon backed by an army of fans sporting blond hair-dos like Phil Foden.
Fellas have swamped hairdressers asking for the Foden cut ahead of the match against Croatia. Man City’s Foden, 21, bleached his thatch after taking inspiration from Paul Gascoigne’s iconic Euro 96 hairstyle.
At the Mister Barber shop in Stockport, Gtr Manchester – just a couple of miles from where Foden grew up – salon owner Adam Home and his pals Jamie Matley, 34, and Otto Millard, 23, unveiled their own bleached styles.
Adam, 41, said: “We’ve had a lot of young lads coming in having their hair cut like Foden.
“We thought we’d go the extra step and get ours dyed too. As Phil grew up just down the road
STOCKPORT we thought it would be great to get his look.”
In Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, Connor Lowes, 25, said plenty of customers had asked for a Foden at his Saint Barber Shop. He said: “I’ve had multiple people wanting it. It looks wicked and the young ’uns seem to really like it. I’ve had it done as well. Foden’s the man.”
Customer Hamish Wigley-Smith, 19, sported an England shirt and said: “My hair’s jet-black normally so it took two sets of bleach and a silver toner. I know a few who’ve had it done. I decided to do it because I’m getting hyped up for the Euros. I was a bit on edge about it, but I think I’ve pulled it off!”
Sports journalism student Tom Tayless, 18, from Newton Aycliffe, also had a Foden after being persuaded by Hamish.
And in Yeovil, footie nut Sam Howell looked chuffed with his blond crop too.
