The scar is obviously bad. But is that why his head is a strange shape?

They use the hair from the back of your head. I can't remember specifically, but I believe only the follicles on the front and top of the scalp are sensitive to dihydrotestosterone, which means you can move hair from the thicker back of the head to replace those without the same symptoms.
I take finesteride, which apparently prevents testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone, thus removing the issue that contributes towards MBP

Forgetting the enormous cost and how ridiculous it would look for me to go from bald to hairy after 25 years of no hair, I don't think I have enough at the back to cover the top anyway :roflmao:
Think yourself lucky you live in a world where prevention (claims to) exist(s) as it certainly didn't when I started thinning

Because he was hit by a car outside a school (driver wouldn't stop for lollipop lady). I imagine being run down to the point of being in a coma would cause cranial deformation

A quick look on wiki says his hairline is also scarred which is probably "it"

In more light hearted chat, someone in my office, with less hair than me, has a very long flat head.
Looks like a Xenomorph.

I didn't know any of that so appreciate the information. Fair play to the lad because that would have been utterly horrific for him and his family. To then go on and have the career he's had, my level of respect just shot through the roof

In one of his interviews he said he was basically splatted, with his face all over the place, but in the hospital one of the other boys in the bed next to him there was in a coma because he got hit by the door mirror of a Transit, and he only had a small graze to his face but suffered serious brain damage and never recovered, so you take the 0.0001% chance of being a footballer and multiply it by his recover from the accident and it's phenomenal

Absolutely crazy, with that sort of story you wonder why it wasn't common knowledge (I mean, I'd have my own unfortunate views on that). It's the sort of inspirational stuff that his clubs, at least, should have been pushing. Maybe they were, but I certainly never heard anything. I heard a lot more about Ribery!

I used to take Finasteride for prostate problems but side effects are not good!


:moursmall:


So stopped and went on Tamsulosin

Different era, in terms of social media and all that jazz. He was also part of the era of City where they were signing 'meh' players for lots of money (Adam Johnson, Jo, Ben Haim, Bellamy, Bridge, etc) so it no doubt just didn't attract much interest.


As evidenced in the thread, I think ribery was quite clearly scarred and disfigured, but perhaps it wasn't as obvious with Lescott.

After all, it wouldn't surprise me if McGinn was dropped on his head as a kid but as far as I know, he's just a badly drawn hugo lloris

This is prime TFC randomness. I can’t be bothered to go back and see how many pages it has been going on for.

Now we just need to embrace it.

Which one of these people was in the Goonies??

One of the only true benefits of being a young football fan in the 90s is that footballers don't make you feel old, because so many of them looked rough as fuck in their mid 20s that their era of being 50+ means they haven't changed at all
