Player’s wig falls off in the middle of a match

Bournemouth's Baily Cargill was just playing in the League Cup against Liverpool like he was just a regular guy playing in a regular match. Then he was just a regular guy playing a regular match as his wig fell off.

Or maybe it wasn’t a wig. Maybe it was hair extensions. But it definitely wasn’t regular.

Playing football is hard enough. Playing while trying to keep a wig on is even tougher. And why bother with a wig?

Zinedine Zidane never wore a wig even as he went bald. It helped that he was the best player in the world, but maybe Cargill should go wig-less and use that as motivation to so good that no one will care that he’s balding.
