Real shocker: Benzema's halfway haircut is latest bizarre style in football

Centre stage: Karim Benzema (centre) and Gareth Bale

 Karim Benzema managed to take some of the spotlight off £86million Gareth Bale by unveiling a bonkers haircut.
The Real Madrid striker sported a peculiar half buzz cut, half frizz during the launch for Spanish club's new orange third strip.
Footballers have long had a penchant for bizarre styles as shown by the likes of Giovanni Simeone.
The River Plate star resorted to drastic measure to try and make a name for himself after living in the footballing shadow of his father, Argentina legend Diego Simeon, by turning up for training with a strange shaved top of the head, with long back and sides, and finished off with a delightful quiff on the crown of his head.

Dagenham and Redbridge striker Bas Savage raised the bar for the wackiest haircuts in football with a Spiderman design sprayed on his head.
But the man capable of performing the best moonwalk in the game and no stranger to dodgy barnets (having already had a red and blue pattern, a tiger skin style and many others... all this season).
As Savage joins the long-list of footballers with embarrassing hair dos, Sportsmail remembers some of the other shocking styles to be paraded on the pitch.

Best of the rest...

Joe Cole

Upon reflection, the West Ham star may argue he was young and foolish when he looks back at the shock trim sported during a pre-season friendly at Southend in 2002.

Andy Carroll

Like Cole, now at West Ham, the striker sported an incredibly stupid looking style, this during his debut season at Newcastle. It did inspire his first league goal against his current club, however.

Javier Margas

Apart from offering Hammers fans free accommodation at his hotel in Chile, the defender was remembered for little other than his spectacular claret and blue hair dye.

Taribo West

The former Nigeria and Derby County hardman defender was renowned for his ever-changing beaded hair but it failed to bring out the best in him during his ill-fated Premier League spell.

Ronaldo

The Brazil legend smashed in eight goals at the 2002 World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea, with his ridiculous haircut trending worldwide after the Samba Boys lifted the cup.

Carlos Valderrama

The Colombia midfielder was king of the crops at France '98 and few (Fabio Coloccini, Marouane Fellaini and David Luiz) have failed to better his perm since, despite their best (or worst) efforts.

David Beckham

The former England captain's cornrows were widely ridiculed in 2003 when he arrived in South Africa to meet the legendary Nelson Mandela... and best to forget THAT infamous mohawk too...

David James

The former England goalkeeper has been guilty of a few howlers during his career... and that's just his hairstyles! From bleach blonde to frizzy fros, who could forget his 50s-style comb-over?

Rolling on: David Beckham

Who have we missed? Is there anyone you can think of who was a crazy hair style? Let us know below...
