Mark Clattenburg update

Mark Clattenburg has for some reason finally decided to speak out about his new found hair.



According to The Sun newspaper, he said ""Like a lot of men my age I noticed my hair was thinning. So I decided to do something about it. The hardest decision is to make that call. But I did and it solved the problem and changed my life. Now it's official - my hair loss is no longer a problem."

He underwent treatment at the White Cliffs Hair Studio. They don't specify exactly what they did for Clattenburg, but reading between the lines it's pretty obvious that he now wears a hairpiece. So this picture of him using a laser helmet is odd to say the least.



He seems happy and it does look impressive so good luck to him. Whether it will stop the spiteful 'you're bald and you know you are" chants from ringing round the terraces is another matter.

Norwood Rating : 1-2 with wig, 3v without.

This Premier League referee used to have a sizeable bald patch.



I first thought he'd had something done to fix this when he was suspended from refereeing for 8 months back in 2008, but further research shows it was during the break at the end of the 2007-2008 season.



I'm not totally sure whether it's a transplant or hairpiece, whatever it is it appears to hold it's own in all weather conditions.



As pointed out by whoateallthepies.tv, the former overweight balding geordie is now able to incorporate a 'fashion tuft' into his hairstyle.



With a history of dubious refereeing decisions behind him, I wonder how he paid for this new look?
