As keen observers of Bale's football career will have noted, the former Spurs number three has sported a man bun for the majority of his time at Real Madrid. Here, look... However, during the frustrating draw in Cardiff, viewers were intrigued to see that Bale's locks temporarily broke free from their usual tied-up position. https://twitter.com/HuskerTR/status/785151572003082240 Because people are weirdly fascinated with footballers' hairdos, the sight of Bale letting his hair down caused quite the reaction on Twitter.
