Legendary England and Manchester United midfielder David Beckham has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson forced him to shave off his mohawk an hour before the 2000 Charity Shield final against Chelsea.
David Beckham admitted that he shaved off his mohawk with clippers in the Wembley toilets ahead of kick off.
“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!”
David Beckham played the full 90 minutes as Man United were beaten 2-0 by Gianluca Vialli’s Chelsea.
