I heartily approve of this thread. Beats moaning and transfers etc.

Let’s have more stuff we can just enjoy.
 
Ibrahimovic and Larsson share the same forehead and nose.

Arshavin hasn't changed one bit. A bit like Ole. Rio looks adorable and Keown apparently always looked like Planet of the Apes type of animal.

Is that Freddy Mercury's brother :eek:
 
I find it crazy that there's no "cure" for hair loss yet, the demand for it would be incredible.

I've been starting to thin this past year, at 28/29. :(

Slowly but surely my forehead is growing. To be fair it's well done but having Larry David hairstyle wasn't planned.

Yeah I think I'm going Rafa Benitez! Hoping my heart isn't crazy looking, hoping for more of a Zidane than Jonjo Shelvey.

My hair started thinning at 18. I have been on medication for the past 2 years. I am only 22, yet I look like like a guy in his mid-30's.
Looks like hair transplantation is the only way forward.
 
From the pics posted, Roberto Baggio is the clear winner hands down.

But, nobody can compete with this man.

Ah sorry to hear that, Must have been rough? I know I cried a little when I noticed that I was thinning on top.

Hair transplants cost a pretty penny no? I was thinking about Turkey, apparently it works best when you catch it early so to speak, but I dont have the money to pay 2k for a transplant.

It's why I originally said about there being no cure yet, it would be a goldmine of a drug!
