There is no questioning David Beckham’s clout in the football world and beyond.

Everyone wanted to be him, your favourite footballers grew up idolising him and your partner probably fancied him. From his fashion sense to his trademark curling free-kicks, Beckham’s aura made him a household name across the globe.

The Manchester United legend was daring in every sense of the word. He modelled before it was cool for footballers to do so, married a pop star and played in Madrid, Milan, Los Angeles and Paris before calling time on his career in 2013.

There was also the little fact that he was simply an outstanding footballer, delivering iconic moments throughout his career such as the famous last-minute free-kick against Greece to take England to the World Cup.

And he did it all while sporting an array of sharp and equally outrageous haircuts. Some of them have undeniably stood the test of time better than others – all of them remain iconic.

To celebrate the former England skipper turning 48, Daily Star Sport brings you a compiled list of his 13 most outstanding haircuts throughout his career and afterwards.

Dubbed by the man himself as his most daring haircut ever. “It lasted until the gaffer (Sir Alex Ferguson) saw it and then it had to go – he made me shave it in the changing room,” the No7 recalled. It was sheered ahead of the Community Shield clash with Chelsea in 2000. (Image: Getty Images)
