An England fan has reportedly proven himself to be crazy about the sport by having an image of skipper Steven Gerrard shaved into the back of his head to show his support for the national team.
Cab driver Kai Ward said that he took the unusual step of having England captain Gerrard shaved into the back of his head after watching the team lose 2-1 to Italy in their World Cup opener.
According to the Mirror, Kai said that he went ahead with the haircut because he wanted to show manager Roy Hodgson and the boys that the country was still behind them.
Kai said that Gerrard and the lads deserved a draw at least against Italy, so he had the skipper on the back of his head to show confidence that England can win their next match against Uruguay on Thursday.
The cab driver said that he has had some funny looks from people but it is worth it if it can give the England squad a good luck charm.
