You know what they say about ponytails, don’t you? That there’s a potential danger to society lurking under every one.

In honour of the great Roberto Baggio turning 51 today, Pies thought we’d rework our list of football’s 10 most shameful Codinos…

Tony Meola

Burly USA goalkeeper of the early 1990s who traded in a horrendous mullet for the one uglier hairstyle available to him.

Julian Speroni

Fairly sure this is the same guy who was playing guitar outside Madonna’s window in the ‘La Isla Bonita’ video.

Andriy Vorinin

In a Ukraine side that boasted Anatoly Timoschuk, it’s perhaps enviable that Voronin still boasted far and away the worst hair of the lot.

David Seaman

We sometimes forget just how long Seamo let his hair grow. You can almost hear the swishing (and faint chuckling) from here.

Martin Demichelis

One word: grotty.

Harry Kewell

100% Bogan. Always pockets ya loiter.

Paul Gascoigne

When it Rome, dress as the 1980s professional wrestlers from the Southern State territories do.

Jose Manuel Pinto

Technically a braid, but that doesn’t prevent Pinto from looking like a posh dressage horse.

Dado Prso

Looks like the lead singer of an ear-splitting Croatian death metal band called ‘Caustic Slaughter’ or something similar.

Domagoj Vida

Much be something in the water down Zagreb way.

Like a boiled egg with a hula skirt.

Head this way for the original post from way back in 2009

    Tony Meola, Seaman and R. Baggio had great fucking ponytails. You’re trippin’ here, dude.

    Completely agree with you on Harry Kewell and Gazza, but I have to speak up for David Seaman’s trademark ponytail and mustache, the universe wouldn’t be the same without them!
