Only at the Asian Cup...
The injury ravaged Socceroos have called Rhyan Grant. Just one problem though. He needed to get approval for his mullet!
Rhyan Grant says his mullet ‘got the tick of approval’ for the Asian Cup
Quote:
Socceroos defender Rhyan Grant has confirmed Football Federation Australia had to have his ‘mullet’ haircut approved ahead of the Asian Cup.
The United Arab Emirates Football Association bans unusual haircuts or colourings.
But the Asian Cup is run under AFC rules, with Grant’s mullet given the tick of approval.
“I heard that — I thought they were taking the mick a bit,” Grant told Fox Sports News’ Daniel Garb.
“But apparently it was legit that they don’t like ordinary haircuts over here so they had to get the tick of approval.
“So thankfully for me — probably not thankfully for everyone else — that I get to keep it but nah yeah it was a little bit of a laugh but I’m keeping it for now.”
