Not just in the world of soccer, but in the world as a whole, there is a bit of a ceiling on how good balding can look. With that being said, there is a significant difference between aging gracefully and gripping on to your days of youth until your knuckles turn white. Today we will discuss two soccer giants who have been dealing with one of nature's cruelest jokes, hair loss. One chose to go the honorable route by displaying his baldness, the other went as far as surgery to regain his hair.
Picture above we have one of the most recognizable names in professional soccer, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney. Rooney had supposedly successful hair transplant surgery when he was essentially completely bald at the ripe old age of 25. Rooney most certainly is a victim of the existence Campbell describes. With the increased interactions as a result of technology, people's opinions of themselves are developed from what the outside world tells them. As the star player of the most recognizable soccer team in Europe, Rooney undoubtedly heard the snickering of every common man on the continent. Certainly that can be the only explanation for such an insult to nature.
Here is a man that Rooney can look up to. Here, we have Barcelona's Andres Iniesta. Iniesta does what you have to do when facing a receding hairline as a youngster, keep the hair short and don't let the media make you do something rash. And certainly the receding hair line doesn't affect his play as he has been nominated for player of the year a couple of time.
