Top 15 curtain hairstyles in Premier League history

Remember when curtain hair was all the rage? It was the Premier League of all hairstyles. Pies travels back in time to that very era (let’s call it the Nineties), to enjoy some of the very best curtains ever seen (and not an undercut in sight). Enjoy…

Look how attractive the curtains made you to women! This is Page 3 legend Jo Guest, in safe hands indeed.

Would you have the balls to tell him he looked like a twat?

Cheeky Scouse monkeys.

5. Peter Fear
Remember the Fear? He played for Wimbledon and wasn’t very good. OK, that’s a bit harsh, he was half-decent but his curtains elevated him to greater heights, surely.

A man at peace with his curtains.

When I think of the curtain, I think Barton.

Framing the face only a blind mother could love.

9. Eddie McGoldrick
Ah, the pungent smell of memory lane. This one’s for Gooners and Palace fans.

10&11. David Beckham and Gary Neville
It must be love. G-Nev looks like the drummer in a sub-Inspiral Carpets baggy indie band who no one fancied. Becks looks demi-godlike, as ever. Poor Neviller – always destined to be his best mate’s wingman.

Majestic Danish curtains.

He probably still has the same hairstyle. The Bos loved his curtains, tightly drawn though.

To be fair Richard, he’s literally got a pair of curtains on top of his head. Literally.

A fine custodian for the curtain heritage.

    Where’s Yossi?

    I was sure Nicky Barmby had a nice pair back in his Tottenham/Middlesbrough days. But I cant for the life of me find a picture.

    What about Jimmy Bullard… he has one this very moment.

    Think Barton, think John Beresford: one time a ref actually booked the wrong pair of Newcastle fullback curtains.

    No Justin Edinburgh?

    Barmby and Higgnett (sp?) – “the Midget Gems” – had matching curtains circa 95. Then Juninho came along and pissed like a massive, well-hydrated racehorse all over their poxy little fire/love-in.

    Maybe not “star-quality”, but on my account former liverpool/wimbledon midfielder Oyvind Leonhardsen most be the “poster boy” for curtain hair..

    I’d really love to get a centre curtain hairstyle like Duncan Ferguson.
