News about Carlos Valderrama

From Paul Pogba to Carlos Valderrama and Taribo West, here are nine footballers - from a longlist of many - who went off-piste with their hair.

OLIVER HOLT: Any list - your list as well as mine - can be dominated by those who are not on it. However, it should really be about the participants who are on it. This list is meant to be a salute to them and of football's rich, rich past, as well as what the game means to all of us and what players represent and why they capture something in us. You'll disagree with some of the names on the list, and you'll be correct. Another man's garbage is another man's treasure.

It's a simple script for American soccer fans: A 'football' legend emerging from a monumental World Cup run is paid handsomely to spend the fall years of his time in the United States. Lionel Messi of Argentina is expected to return to the MLS to play for Inter Miami, a low-profile club team backed by a high-profile former league star in David Beckham this season. What's more, many outlets have Luis Suárez, Cesc Fabregas, and Sergio Busquets as a result of the reigning Golden Ball winner to South Florida. It's the latest iteration in a familiar refrain from MLS, which has attracted Beckham, Carlos Valderrama, Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovi, and Steven Gerrard to the United States with various success. And, as so much in the game, Pele, the 82-year-old soccer legend who is fighting the effects of a respiratory disease in his native Brazil, was first travelled by Pele, the 82-year-old soccer legend who is now suffering from the effects of a respiratory disease.

For millennial football fans, seeing famous football stars flooded their social media pages with festive photos has been a modern trend. However, footballers didn't have the same luxurious store three decades ago, and they had to find other ways to broadcast their Christmas cheer.
