The cold snap was too much for Aston Villa’s follically-challenged James Collins.
When Gerard Houllier’s first team assembled at their Bodymoor Heath training ground on Wednesday for a belated squad photo, the ginger Ninja refused to remove his woolly hat.
Club staff then had to Photoshop his balding bonce out and replace it with a hatless shot for the official version.
Meanwhile, Villa staff are wondering what makes Houllier’s thinning thatch look so vibrant.
Insiders suspect industrial quantities of Clairol hairspray – because he’s worth it.

Arsenal’s Andrey Arshavin continues to justify his billing as one of football’s leading intellectuals.
Asked in a Q&A interview for his dislikes, the Meerkat soundalike replied: “When I’m snorkelling, I don’t like to look under the sea.”
To which the obvious answer would be: Don’t go snorkelling then.
