Meet the stars who have lit up football stadiums around the world and not just as a result of the reflections from the floodlights rebounding off their bonces.
That’s right, in Saturday’s Courier we reveal the world’s very finest follically challenged footballers.
From Fabian Barthez to Bobby Charlton not forgetting Jim Duffy there have been some terrific players over the years.

Get the full list in your investigative Courier but suffice to say lags clearly like a good laugh, with a joke book among the top hits…
