Tom Huddlestone gets first haircut in over two years

And so the Huddlehawk was born.

Richard Sellers

How long does it take to cut a man’s hair?

That's not the start of a joke, although you would be forgiven if you assumed everything Hull-related is. It is a real question for Tom Huddlestone, who got his first haircut in two-and-a-half years on Thursday.

Answer: About two hours.

Meanwhile, Jake Livermore is either bad at counting or making fun of his teammate and Huddlestone is Don King.

Finally, the haircut was done and Huddlestone was so aerodynamic that he may actually be able to run now.

The Huddlefro began when the midfielder promised not to cut his hair until he scored a goal as part of a fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. He probably didn’t bank on it taking more than two years, the product of injures and bad luck, but he did raise £36,000 for charity, while an eBay auction for his hair has reached £3,500 and is still going.

Let the Huddlehawk fly.

Iran thought they had advanced to the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout round. A less frequent aspect of the offside law disallowed the winning goal.
