Back in August, Will Almond wrote a blog for TSBโ€™s website making a passionate plea for baldies to return to Elland Road and save us all. He got his wish. Josuha Guilavoguiโ€™s shiny dome has appeared from the wilderness to represent the less-follicled fraternity and is generally making a bloody good job of it so far. However, Iโ€™d like to make the opposite appeal: we need hair.

The international break represented the ideal opportunity to take in some #realfootball down at my local non-league club and what I discovered, among the rugged tackling and the rugged language, was hair. Loads of the stuff.
