Rabbit hole 31 Posted September 28, 2020 You could do some interesting psychological analysis on players that have grown their hair long and in particular have worn an Alice band. Think about it, name all the players who have worn them and then think about fallouts within the club surrounding said player. Ill start with the first one David Beckham and the boot.

Jonncfc 28 Posted September 29, 2020 In my opinion, footballers wearing “Alice Bands” = tw@ttery of the highest order. Same for man buns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,810 Posted September 29, 2020 Nothing wrong with Alice bands. Excellent for keeping hair out of your face. Just a bit annoying when they slip mid-race (which is what happened when doing Warszawa-Praga parkrun last year, hence the photos all show me holding my Alice hand in my hand). If you're growing your hair longer, they're almost inevitable at some stage. Gel on its own often won't hack it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can always remember a certain Paul Mcveigh at Carrow Rd. Can't place the game,but he went up for a header,lost his alice band,and when he hit the ground,was more concerned about retrieving his band than he was chasing the ball!! God,I must admit,I gave him dogs abuse for that!Never forgot that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent most of the second half running with my chin up in the air. Not much fun running around with your hair all in your face. Although nothing trumps the Paulie Malignaggi / Lovemore N'Dou boxing match when Paulie's braids came undone during round 7 and a pair of scissors suddenly trumped the Endswell in the corner at the end of that round!!
