Football and promises/bets. Well, I love all the drama. Hull City player, Tom Huddlestone's "32-month old" hair was finally shaved off after he scored against Fulham last week. He actually promised not to get rid of it until he tosses the net. He must have heaved a sigh of relief after he sealed the goal.
A fan who was lucky to get a clump of the midfielder's hair while his physiotherapist cut it off auctioned it on e-bay. And guess what? There were 114 bidders. The highest bidder paid £6,300. (As against the £5,000 target set for it).
I wonder how much fans would pay if Messi, C Ronaldo and Rooney made that kind of promise.
