The Belgian midfielder had sported a massive head of hair since his first match in the Premier League, but he believed it was a good time to change.

They say that every new birthday should be considered as a new start, but it seems that Marouane Fellaini took that statement to the extreme.

The Belgian footballer, currently on a leave of absence from his National Team, decided to cut his characteristic hair, preparing for his birthday in eight days. The player's massive head of hair was well-known by all football fans, with some of his supporters suggesting that his afro gave him "special" powers.

Needless to say, some of his fans praised the change, but others were not as satisfied with his decision. Have a look at some of the best comments from fans and some of his team-mates, who became hairdressers and stylists to aim digs at the Belgian player.
