While some footballers have been getting bad press thanks to recent haircuts, there’s nothing wrong with Allan’s new trim.
The Everton midfielder has allowed his young son, Miguel, to shave all his hair off in a lovely gesture.
Miguel was diagnosed with alopecia when he was 4, an autoimmune disease that caused him to lose all of his hair.

So, in order to look more like his son and make him feel better, Allan got the electric razor out, and posted the results to Instagram.
Allan’s wife, Thais Valentim, provided the caption: ‘I thought a lot if I should bring this subject up here, because the truth is that I am not so comfortable with it.
‘I’m not sure what words to use, what to say; But after thinking and praying and receiving some questions, I came to share with you a road that we have traveled for some time. When our Miguel was 4 years old he was diagnosed with Alopecia, an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks the hair follicle itself.
‘It is severe? Does he need treatment? No. The only major problem with alopecia is aesthetics. Our Miguel is super healthy and rarely needs to take a medicine, thank God.
Allan has been out of action in recent weeks thanks to a hamstring issue he picked up
‘Is it genetic? Is it emotional? We don’t know either. Sometimes people ask us, but there are answers that not even we have. I actually decided to expose it to preserve it. He’s a happy child, he’s always laughing! The sun in our house. He takes everything well and sometimes makes fun of himself.
‘But sometimes he ends up being saddened by the questions and looks. And I don’t want to see him like that anymore.
‘Ps: thank you love @allanmarques91 for being the most amazing father in the world. #fatherlikeson.’
Allan has missed out on a lot of recent action after suffering a hamstring injury against Leicester over the Christmas period.
However it is hoped he will be returning to action soon, with the Toffees facing still hoping to make a push for a European spot.
