David Beckham: Alex Ferguson Made Me Shave Off Mohawk In Dressing Room Toilets

Ferguson, as a result of his high standards, fell out with a number of players, including the likes of Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Paul Ince, to name just a few.

But perhaps the most famous example of them all was David Beckham, whose relationship with the boss was arguably the most difficult.

Beckham admitted that he made mistakes during his time at Old Trafford, which led to a breakdown in relations with Sir Alex.

And a story involving a Mohawk hairstyle in 2001 has left me day-dreaming about this incredible turn of events.

I'll let the man himself describe what really happened:

"I walked in the changing room and he hadn't seen it because I was too scared to even show him." Beckham said in a recent interview with Otro.

"I'd gone into training the day before with a beanie on, trained in a beanie, gone back, walked in the hotel, had a beanie on, had dinner, beanie on, breakfast beanie on, bus on way to stadium - beanie.

"Then as I got ready for the game I took it off, he said 'go and shave it off'.

"I giggled and he was like 'no, I'm serious. Go and shave it off'. So I had to find a pair of clippers and I shaved it off in Wembley Stadium. Manager always rules."

It's a lot more normal to do it these days, it's a lot more normal to have a mohawk or a tattoo on your neck or wear coloured boots." he said.

"When we were growing up the manager wouldn't let us even step on a pitch wearing a pair of red boots or a pair of white boots. Simple as that.

"Things like that have definitely changed."
