NEWCASTLE United boasts the highest number of bald fans in the Premier League — with many blaming the stress of supporting them.
A poll found 49 per cent of followers of the Toon Army have lost their locks — above the national average for men of 39 per cent.
And the average for Premier League fans is 30 per cent.
Researchers found Newcastle fans believe regular relegation fears make their hair fall out.
The Geordie team had been close to the drop zone again all this season but survived.
Liverpool fans are the second biggest baldies, with 47 per cent admitting to a thinning dome — despite the team’s recent on-field success.
Researchers at BuzzBingo.com asked 2,000 male Premier League fans if they are bald or balding and asked which club they support.
Spokesman Rich Kearns said: “We were stunned to find about 30 per cent of fans are bald.
“But maybe it should be no surprise considering the stress involved — particularly at this time of year when relegation battles are decided.
“It seems Newcastle’s season has taken a greater toll on their fans.”
