da casino: Some Premier League managers have changed their philosophy, their formations, their style of man-management, a whole heap of things over the years.
da brwin: And among all those changes that go in their lives, there is also the matter of their physical appearance altering.
Some resemble how they look now in a way they should be proud of. But others look nothing like they did back during their playing days! A number of them had some pretty obscene haircuts back in the 70s and 80s so they have actually improved with age, like a fine wine.
And then there are those who may not be best pleased that photos from the past are being dug up and rolled out once more.
Some of these images have been seen by very few in the past and as a result, may shock a few people!
We start with one of the most recognisable English managers of the past two decades…
