England chieftain Fabio Capello has revealed his latest motivational ploy to kick-start his team's stuttering World Cup Campaign - he will shave his head and wear the hair as a beard for as long as England remain in the tournament.
The (slap)head-honcho, who is notorious for his practical jokes, once famously burnt all of Theo Walcott's kit seconds before the England - Croatia World Cup Qualifier, leaving Walcott to scour the Wembley lost-property box and arrive on pitch ten minutes late wearing only Gary Neville's old lucky jockstrap. Walcott went on to score a hat-trick and cite Capello's antics as 'inspirational'.
Fabio will be looking for similar results this coming Wednesday, when Slovenia will be looking to wipe the smirk - and indeed the beard - off his face.
