Mark Clattenburg's incredible regrowing hair

Mark Clattenburg might have missed Emmanuel Adebayor's 'stamp' on Robin van Persie but it's harder to miss the miracle occurring on the top of the official's head.

The Consett-born ref's old egg-in-the-nest look appears to have been replaced by a new, lustrous growth.

Let's be charitable and say it's grown back naturally. And that Clattenburg's Eastlands error was just the result of a bald... sorry, blind spot.
