Football is used to wild and wonderful hairstyles - it has seen a lot of them over the years. The latest craze of players such as Phil Jones, Aaron Ramsey and Samir Nasri going blonde has caused quite a stir in recent months, and it seems fans are split over the newest star to adopt the trend - Lionel Messi.
The Barcelona star has kept his styles fairly simple over the year, having emerged as a youngster with a bit of a mop atop his dome and latterly keeping it a bit shorter.
Now, the Argentine has opted for a change in colour, with his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, posting a picture of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner sporting a bit of a silver dye to his hair.

If only Messi spent as much time doing his tax's as dying his hair "Phil Jones white" he'd be sailing.
