Cast of the mohicans

With David Beckham's new haircut taking up more column inches than England's World Cup bid, BBC Sport Online's Chris Charles takes a peek at what other sporting personalities would look like with a mohican.

What a noble man that David Beckham is.

Sick of the abuse directed at David Seaman's dodgy barnet, he has decided to take the heat off his England team-mate in the worst possible fashion.

What does he look like with that daft-as-a-brush crop?

Apparently it's modelled on Robert De Niro's character in Taxi Driver, the pyschotic Travis Bickle, whose new hairstyle sparks a killing spree. Ooh, watch out Fergie.

Hopefully this is the first and last of the mohicans we'll be seeing in the Premiership, although it would be fun to see how other sporting personalities suit the new look.


Sven Goran Eriksson:
Obviously, the England manager would need to do some serious hair arranging to achieve the effect - like taking some off the sides to stick on the front.

The result is alarming in the extreme - let's put it this way, if he turned up at the school gates to pick up his kids, he'd be arrested on sight.

Sir Alex Ferguson:
It would be a brave man who took the mickey out of Sir Alex in the dressing room - the new image makes him look meaner than ever.

The suits upstairs might not like it, but let's face it, relations could hardly be worse. One added bonus, if it starts getting out of control, Fergie has his own built-in hairdryer to sort things out.


Anna Kournikova:
The long blonde tresses are undoubtedly part of her favoured image, but the Russian pin-up does not look out of place with Beckham's bonce.

She might be more suited to Chumbawamba than the Paris catwalk, but hey, it might free her up to play a bit of tennis for a change.

Audley Harrison:
Britain's latest boxing hope could end up with a cut to match the quality of his first professional opponent.

He'd be a dead ringer for Mr T - and it would take one of those infamous flying injections to get him into the barber's chair in the first place.


Tiger Woods:
The world's number one sportsman looks a real tough cookie with a number one crop.

As if the rest of the world's golfers weren't intimidated enough - they'd freeze every time he stepped up to the tee.

Graham Taylor:
Would he not like that.

Could always rely on Phil 'yes boss' Neal to give him a bit of moral support, but word of advice, Graham, never get it dyed orange.


Des Lynam:
Mr Smooth looks surprisingly fetching with the strip'n'shave.

The removal of the familiar grey mop takes years off the old charmer, although the moustache is more Village People than diehard punk.
