Stephen James Ireland is an Irish born balding Soccer star that plays midfield for ‘Stoke City’ in the English Premier League.

Rumour has it that in 2007, Stephen turned up to training wearing a wig in place of his receding hair. His team mates apparently took a double take at his new head of hair and tried to pull it off. He was thinning on top the last time they saw him.

Stephen wore the wig on field throughout the 07′ Premier League season with Manchester City and also six appearances with the Republic of Ireland national team also in 2007.

You will be pleased to know that Stephen has come to his senses and from the 2008 season and beyond now chooses to keep what hair he has left cut short or shaven completely bald.
