David Beckham attempts to fix unmissable bald patch on his head after DIY buzz-cut goes horribly wrong
attempted to fix his bald patch on his head after doing his own DIY buzz-cut on Sunday. The football legend, 50, who is famous for changing up his hairstyles, was visibly fuming after almost scalping himself while using a pair of clippers to cut his own hair. David decided to ditch his conventional short-beck-and-sides in favour of the shaved look he famously debuted at the height of his footballing glory in 2000. And as he chopped his own locks, the head fell from his clippers mid-shave - leaving him with a glaring bald patch on the top of his head. Now, David has shared a new selfie showing off an even shorter buzz cut as he tried to cover up the blunder. He wrote: 'UPDATE The best I can do with the situation. @victoriabeckham still awful???' Earlier in the day, the father-of-four was given little sympathy from wife Victoria, who appeared to revel in her husband's misfortune by sharing a video of his uneven buzz-cut with Instagram followers. 'It does not look good,' she admits as a crestfallen Beckham reluctantly shows her the bald patch. 'I'm going to always be honest with you - it looks terrible.' However after David showed off his new look, Victoria added: 'I'm into it!!!' Beckham has opted for the buzz-cut on numerous occasions since debuting the look during a Premier League match against Leicester City more than 20-years ago. During a recent interview with former teammate and best friend Gary Neville for the Overlap podcast, the retired footballer even admitted it was his favourite hairstyle. 'I always like the skinhead,' he said. 'I always loved the skinhead, because it was easy and you didn't have to do anything with it.' Ahead of his milestone 50th birthday in May, Beckham launched a new fundraising appeal for UNICEF's work to support vulnerable children. The former footballer has worked with UNICEF for 20 years as a Goodwill Ambassador – a role that has seen him raise awareness on issues such as education, health, immunization, and protection. The new appeal will help to improve the lives of girls and adolescent girls globally who are impacted by child marriage, female genital mutilation, violence and abuse. In a video posted to his Instagram as the appeal launched, Beckham said: 'We are witnessing a global funding crisis where the most vulnerable children are suffering the most and urgently need our help. Please support my birthday fundraiser. 'Next month, I turn 50. It's a major milestone that has made me think about the opportunities I've had and the experiences that have shaped me. In a video posted to his Instagram as the appeal launched, Beckham said: 'We are witnessing a global funding crisis where the most vulnerable children are suffering the most and urgently need our help. Please support my birthday fundraiser. 'As I look back, some of the moments that have had the most impact on me have come through my work with @UNICEF. As a father of four amazing children, I know how lucky my family is to be safe and have access to education and healthcare. 'I've met children living in the toughest situations all over the world and I've seen what can happen when they are given the support they need to take control of their lives. 'Today, 25 years since my first visit to a women's centre in Thailand, the world is a very difficult place for children - especially girls. 'That's why I'm launching a fundraising appeal for my birthday. I want the children who need us to believe that their voice will be heard. 'So if you, like me, believe that every child should have the chance to achieve their full potential, please click the link in my bio to donate. Whatever you can give will make a difference to children's lives. 'Every child deserves the chance to dream. Together, we can help to make those dreams a reality. Thank you @UNICEF. #ForEveryChild.'

David Beckham left with unmissable bald patch on head after DIY buzz-cut blunder
Sir David Beckham was left with an unmissable bald patch on his head after a DIY buzz-cut went horribly wrong. The former England captain, 50, was visibly upset after almost scalping himself while attempting to trim his hair with a pair of clippers. He attempted to recreate his famous shaved look he debuted during a Premier League match against Leicester City in 2000. However, the football legend's plan fell through when the 'clipper head fell off' mid-shave, leaving him with a bare spot on his scalp. He was given little sympathy from his wife Victoria, who shared a video of her husband's uneven hairstyle with her 33 million Instagram followers. 'It does not look good,' the former Spice Girl, 51, admits. 'I'm going to always be honest with you: it looks terrible.' In a recent interview with former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville for The Overlap podcast, Beckham named it as his favourite hairstyle. He said: 'I always loved the skinhead, because it was easy and you didn't have to do anything with it.' Ahead of his 50th birthday in May, Beckham launched a new fundraising appeal for UNICEF's work to support vulnerable children. But away from the cameras and charity work, Posh and Becks have been left upset over their explosive family feud, spurred on by the notable absence of son Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham from recent family events. Siblings Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, also blocked Brooklyn on social media after he failed to address a series of Beckham family milestones online, including David's naming in the King's birthday honours.

Across all competitions, Stach has represented the Kraichgauers on 71 occasions, scoring 4 goals and providing 6 assists.

UEFA 'fires warning to Chelsea and Aston Villa over inflated player swap deals' after Premier League duo breached Financial Fair Play rules
Chelsea and Aston Villa have reportedly been warned by UEFA that player swap deals will be monitored closely to make sure fees have not been inflated. UEFA are believed to have taken issue with at least one previous deal, according to The Times. In recent years Premier League clubs have paid sizeable fees to each other in instances where players have moved in each direction. And there have been protests from rivals that this has been done with the aim of artificially increasing transfer income in order to comply with Profitability and Sustainability Rules. Earlier this month it was revealed that UEFA had stepped in to knock down the value of at least one deal that involved the two clubs. The Blues have been hit with a €31million (£26.8m) fine for breaching UEFA's financial rules. That figure could potentially rise to a record-breaking €91m (£78.5m) if they fail to comply within the next four years amid the threat of further sanctions hanging over them. Aston Villa were also fined €11m (£9.5m), which could rise to €26 million (£22.4m). UEFA stated at the time that they had looked at 'transactions involving the exchange of players' and that those 'required specific adjustments to the club's financial result'. The Times add that that UEFA will continue to scrutinise all such swap deals but Chelsea and Villa will be particularly under the microscope following their settlements. Omari Kellyman joined Chelsea from Villa for £19m last summer but is yet to make an appearance for the club. Ian Maatsen, a product of the Chelsea academy, went the other way for £37.5m and went on to play 29 times for the club in the top flight last term.

Classy Thomas Frank opens his first Tottenham press conference by paying a touching tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has paid tribute to Diogo Jota after he died in a car crash aged 28 earlier this month. Jota and his brother Andre Silva, 25, were killed following the accident, which occurred in northern Spain on July 3. Now, in his first Spurs press conference since joining the club from Premier League rivals Brentford, Frank has paid tribute to the pair. The Danish manager was announced as the Lilywhites' manager last month after they decided to sack Ange Postecoglou - despite the Australian winning them a first trophy in 17 years as he guided to victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final. Frank was speaking ahead of his side's first pre-season friendly, which sees them play Reading on Saturday afternoon. He said: 'On behalf of everyone at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, our condolences go to the family and the loved ones of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva and everyone at Liverpool Football Club.' The Portuguese international, who was part of Liverpool 's Premier League-winning side last season, made 131 appearances for Wolves and scored 44 goals during a three-year spell at the club after initially joining on loan from FC Porto in 2017. He then moved to Anfield in a £41million transfer in the summer of 2020 after impressing as part of the side that secured European football under Nuno Espirito Santo. On Thursday, his former club Wolves announced that he would be posthumously inducted into the club's Hall of Fame following his death. The West Midlands side confirmed the news via the release of an official club statement, which read: 'Diogo Jota has been inducted into the Wolves Hall of Fame, in a tribute that honours both his remarkable achievements for the club and the deep impact his passing has had on the footballing world. 'The Hall of Fame, which is run independently by a committee chaired by Wolves legend John Richards, has moved swiftly to make this rare and heartfelt decision, following the tragic and untimely death of Diogo and his younger brother Andre. Wolves Hall of Fame chairman and club vice president John Richards added his own statement on the matter after the news 'There is such a feeling of sadness and disbelief around this awful tragedy that we wanted to make this tribute of our own as soon as we could. 'Like everyone else, we've been stunned by events, and we remember what a wonderful player Diogo was for Wolves during that unforgettable promotion season under Nuno and our early years back in the Premier League. 'His record of 44 goals at Wolves, and then 65 at Liverpool as a Premier League title winner, speaks volumes. So many fans across the game – especially in Portugal after he helped them win the Nations League this summer – are feeling his loss deeply. We saw no reason to delay this decision. 'We hope it will bring a little comfort to those who were close to Diogo and Andre, and we trust Wolves supporters will understand that this gesture is made with real love and admiration, and also fully justified.'
