Andrea Pirlo’s career in Panini stickers: Twenty years of hirsute magnificence

Hair today, not gone tomorrow...

Two decades. Five clubs. 113 international caps. Two World Cup tournaments. Five Serie A titles. Two Champions League medals. Just one hairstyle. All hail Andrea Pirlo and his consistently peerless barnet.

As can be seen from these elegantly-posed Panini stickers, the Italian playmaker and universal mancrush has remained consistently loyal to his gorgeous locks.

The facial hair may have grown a little over the years, and the shirts have also changed year-on-year, but one thing remains a beautiful constant – that magnificent mop.

The 35-year-old maestro remains the epitome of cool on the football pitch and his luscious mane is a big part of that. So here’s to you Andrea – never change.

And for the love of God, don’t go bald.
