David Silva Is Almost Unrecognisable After Shaving Off All His Beautiful Hair

At 12:26am on the 3rd July 2017, Manchester City midfielder David Silva announced his brand new look on Twitter and millions around the world mourned the loss of a true masterpiece.

We don't mean to upset our readership at this very difficult time, but Silva will never ruffle his hair in anger or frustration for a very long period of time.

His trademark hair sweep to one side when the Manchester breeze trickles across the Etihad is now a distant memory and for that, we are disappointed.

But now is a time of change. Here is Silva's new mop, or lack of it:

Plenty of people on Twitter have blamed Pep Guardiola for this madness. Others think he's been around Andres Iniesta too much recently.

All we know is, this montage made by @EsteemedKompany is a true piece of art:

Whitney is right on this occasion. We will always love you David - just bring back the beautiful locks.

Here are some other reactions to Silva's new look:
