Hair usually grows thinner with age, but this process starts earlier for some players. Many players are remembered for their great football skills as well as shiny heads. Let's pick the Bald Best XI of all time here!
Here are introductions for some players:
Nicolas Anelka
Having served for 12 different clubs in career, Anelka has been described as a classy and quick player, with good aerial ability, technique, shooting, and movement off the ball and was regarded as one of the best strikers in his generation.
Gianluca Vialli
During his twenty years long career as a professional footballer, Vialli scored 286 goals in more than 500 appearances, making him the tenth-highest scoring Italian player in all competitions.
David Trezeguet
Spending half of his career in Juventus, Trezeguet scored 138 goals in 245 league appearances, which makes him the fourth-highest goalscorer in the club's history. At the international level, Trezeguet scored 34 goals in 71 appearances for France including the golden goal in the final of Euro 2000.
Claude Makelele
Regarded as one of the greatest ever players in his position, Makelele has been credited with redefining the defensive midfield role in English football. In homage, a deep defensive midfield position is colloquially known as the "Makelele Role".
Clarence Seedorf
Regarded by many as one of the best midfielders of his generation, Seedorf's career is decorated with plenty of glories. He is considered one of the most successful players in Champions League history as he is the first, and currently the only player to have won the Champions League with three clubs.
Esteban Cambiasso
Cambiasso won 21 official titles during his professional career and he was an important member of Internazionale to win the Champions League 2010.
Sol Campbell
This famous English defender served for both Spurs and Arsenal and was a member of The Invincibles for Arsenal's undefeated 2003β04 Premier League campaign.
Lilian Thuram
Regarded as one of the best defenders in his generation, Thuram won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 for France.
Jaap Stam
Stam was known for possessing "a rare combination of speed, strength and ball-playing ability", as well as an excellent positional sense. He was voted the best defender in the 1998β99 and 1999β2000 UEFA Champions League.
Eric Abidal
Abidal spent most of his career for Lyon and Barcelona and won 18 titles with both teams combined including two Champions League trophies with the latter.
Maicon Sisenando

Christian Abbiati
Abbiati currently holds the record for the most caps(281) as a goalkeeper for Milan. In his prime, Abbiati was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Italy.
Fabien Barthez
Nicknamed Le Divin Chauve ("The Divine Bald One"), due to his trademark shaved head, Barthez is France's most capped player in the FIFA World Cup, with 17 appearances at the finals and shares the record for the most World Cup finals clean sheets with Peter Shilton, with ten.
Pepe Reina
Reina is well known for his distribution, ball skills, positioning, shot-stopping, leadership, and ability to save penalties; he has also functioned as a "sweeper-keeper" on occasion throughout his career, due to his anticipation and speed when rushing off his line, as well as his ability to start plays or create chances from the back.
