WHAT HAPPENED?
Ahead of the 2000-01 campaign, with the Red Devils in Community Shield action, Beckham decided to alter his image – having already seen his hairstyles become as famous as his right foot. The Three Lions captain opted to shave his head, but leave a strip of hair down the middle.

WHAT DAVID BECKHAM SAID
That decision did not go down well with iconic United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, with Beckham revealing some years later: "The mohawk was slightly different because I'd had a photoshoot that week. We were playing in the Charity Shield and the gaffer looked at me once I took my cap off and said, 'shave it off', as I was just about to go out for the warm-up. I had to get a pair of clippers, go into the changing room at Wembley and shave it off. He wouldn't have played me."

Beckham did get to showcase that style in public when heading off on England duty in May 2001. With Ferguson no longer around to tell him off, a man that earned 115 caps for his country experimented again with a haircut that took on various guises through to the 2002 World Cup.
