PHIL FODEN is one of Gareth Southgate’s top men to represent England in international tournaments.
The Man City midfielder went into the 2020 EUROs with a hairstyle familiar to English fans as he hoped to bring a title home in Wembley.
What is Phil Foden’s haircut called?
Phil Foden’s haircut is known as the Gazza-style haircut.
The 22-year-old bleached his hair blonde to imitate Paul Gascoigne’s hair in the Euro 96, which saw England make it all the way to the semi-finals.
Gascoigne was a remarkable figure in that EUROs campaign and Foden hoped that he can repeat history by bringing “a bit of Gazza onto the pitch.”
When speaking to the media at St George’s Park, Foden said: “First of all I’ve had the same haircut for what seems ages now, so I thought I would try something new.

“And then I woke up this morning with a lot of comparisons to Gazza and Eminem.
“So, yeah, it was my own thing and people turned it into something else.
“But they’ve said that they liked it so it’s a positive thing, which I’m surprised about.
“I remember watching highlights on the TV of Gazza. He was an unbelievable player.

“I know what he means for the country and what he did so it wouldn’t be too bad if I tried to bring a bit of Gazza on the pitch.”
Gascoigne was around the same age as Foden when his breakthrough came on the international scene for England.
Both players have the same position of an attacking midfielder and this made space for even more comparisons.
England made it all the way to the finals in Wembley in the 2020 EUROs – the first time in 55 years and the first-ever European final.
Unfortunately, they suffered a hard-fought loss to Italy which saw the English dream break down very quickly.
