David Beckham's numerous hairstyles supply a ravishing journey by means of popular culture history, but one of his most famous barnets was truly inspired by Travis singer Fran Healy. (This story also includes Toys R Us, in fact.)
Hark your minds back to 2002 and the now 48-year-old midfielder was putting his greatest foot forward for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
Becks had already made a mohawk debut – in its most excessive model – the yr earlier than, however his no-nonsense Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson made him shave it off.
But for the World Cup in 2002, the soccer followers and showbiz fanatics will possible keep in mind his extra subdued (but no much less culturally shifting) mohawk which was a staple noughties development: the Hoxton Fin.
This shabby look resembles a fish's fin, and has the edgy spirit of the complete mohawk while toeing the mainstream line, resulting in an entire load of copycats dotted around the UK.
We all thought Beckham had set this specific development, however it seems the football celebrity acquired the look immediately from Travis rocker Fran, 50, after a chance meeting.
The singer advised quite the story on a current episode of the Restless Natives podcast as he described the moment he met David in a Toys R Us automotive park with the Hoxton Fin, and simply weeks later the footballer was sporting the identical look within the World Cup.
'The mohawk one that Beckham took and ran off with. Have you learnt how that happened? he started.
'I met Beckham once I had that and he had the large stookie on his leg. He and Posh Spice have been popping out of Toys R Us, and I met him in the automotive park,' Fran defined, referring to David's nail-biting leg damage just before the World Cup.
'Swear to god. They came out of that Toys R Us like they'd gained the jackpot in Crackerjack. Trustworthy to god. I've never seen so many toys in my life and I had just had that reduce and he's like, "Good day, mate!" I've never met him earlier than and I'm like "Oh my god, how's your foot?" And you recognize, we chatted for a minute,' he continued.
'Two weeks later, he had the reduce and that was before the World Cup. But he then went off and this haircut turned – everybody had it.'
And identical to that, nothing is sensible anymore.
However there we have now it: all these lads with their recent new cuts have been unknowingly copying Travis, not their football hero Becks. Sensible.
At the moment Travis have been dominating the music scene with their third album launched in 2001, The Invisible Band, which included hits like Sing.
Now, the band are again and set to launch their 10th studio album L.A. Occasions, and they are going to be supporting The Killers across their 16 UK and Eire area tour dates later this yr.
