David Beckham has revealed Sir Alex Ferguson forced him to shave off his famous mohawk hairstyle – in the Wembley Stadium toilets!
The former Manchester United and England star infuriated his boss when he pitched up at the home of football with the outrageous cut ahead of their Charity Shield clash with Chelsea in 2000.
However, Sir Alex was far from impressed and ordered Becks to get the clippers out before the game. “I was in the dressing room with an hour to go before kick off when Sir Alex Ferguson saw it and made me shave it off,” Beckham recalls. “I said no at first and then I saw his face change very quickly so I went and shaved it off in the toilet.
He was very strict. “It was the reputation of the club, he wanted all the players to look professional and he felt it wasn’t the right look. We were playing at Wembley too, so he kind of had a point!”
