In one
of the earlier World Cup (FIFA) remembered Valderrama – mainly because of his
hairdo …..
Carlos Alberto Valderrama Palacio, also known as El Pibe ("The Kid") is
a former Colombian football player. His mass of blond afro hair, coupled with
his flamboyant technique on the ball, made him one of Colombia
And there was
Roberto Baggio, who professed to follow Buddhism and sported a pony-tail
impressed with his game….. remember that Kapil Dev too had a pony-tail for some
time in his career. In olden days, traditionally, women used to sport long hair;
school girls would have double plait, a complex pattern formed by intertwining
three or more strands hair and wearing dhavani ~ half-sarees !!~ not any
longer..!! ~ no point in discussing whether the hair possesses natural
fragrance…
Had
posted earlier about - Slinga Malinga –
the pacer with unique action (some say blatant throwing) … Separamadu
Lasith Malinga, bowls fast straight, toe-crushers and is unplayable in the dead.
He is the first and only bowler in the world to have two World Cup hat-tricks,
the first and only bowler to have taken three hat-tricks in ODIs and he is also
the first, and currently the only, player to have taken four wickets in four
consecutive balls in any form of international cricket ~ and Lasith has the
most unusual and uncomman hair style. Remember seeing him with ordinary
hair style in his initial days sporting whites……. ~ as years rolled by, his
hair-do also started garnering more attraction……. appears pretty difficult to
be maintained…..still…. couple of IPL seasons ago – Ravindra Jadeja was seen
sporting a hairdo with letters CSK written .. !

2014, dramatic scenes as Portugal USA Portugal Ghana
Cristiano
Ronaldo is a massive social media star - with more than 110 million followers
on Facebook and Twitter. A great player too but there has been widespread
mockery of his locks - admittedly mostly from Americans - soon morphed into
something completely different. A single tweet from a regular football fan with
900 followers seems to have been the trigger. The tweet read: "Ronaldo cut
his hair to match the scar of a young fan who had surgery to remove a brain
tumor last week. #respect." That tweet has now been shared more than
11,000 times. It was also copied word-for-word and reposted by numerous larger
accounts. In all, there have been about 50,000 tweets and retweets. The problem
is, there's nothing to suggest this is anything but a rumour. Ronaldo himself
has not posted to his social media accounts since before Sunday's match, and
neither his agent nor the Portugal
Cristiano
Ronaldo's new zig-zag patterned haircut; his new engraving on the right side of
his head is less of a fashion statement and more of a kind gesture towards a
young boy in Spain, is what the stories are all about. Ronaldo paid Erik Ortiz
Cruz's entire £50,000 medical fee as he underwent brain surgery recently and
the jagged line incorporated into his new haircut is rumoured to be a nod to
the youngster's surgery scars. However, the Portugal
There
are lot who continue to do charity work – and sincere appreciations to all of
them. To conclude with a Thirukural
– the
wealth of men of eminent knowledge who have the quality of benevolence, is
likened to the common well in the middle of a village - the plentiful of water will be of use to
all villagers and will benefit the society
