Writer, analyst, podcaster, Spurs fan. Three out of four is not bad. If there is a data angle, I will find it.
Which Footballers Hairstyles do we Love the Most?
As the season has kicked off once again we are all relieved to have weekly football back in our lives.
But what kind of inspiration are the players bringing to our lives off the pitch?
From Foden’s Slim Shady moment to the classic Ronaldo slick back, footballers tend to lead the way when it comes to hair inspiration. Following some of the questionable cuts and styles from the season so far, we wanted to dig into the data to see which footballers’ cuts we’re wanting to replicate the most by analysing Google search results.
Premier League Players With The Best Hair Styles?
It’s no surprise, the newly welcomed Man United star, Ronaldo racks up the most searches for his well maintained locks.
However it appears that Man City won the title of ‘most lusted after hair’ in the Premier League with four of the top ten, hailing from the Northern club.
Which haircut will you be replicating this season?
