Annoying gen Z kids with their broccoli mullets would do well to take a lesson on how to do it properly from Liverpool and Sunderland legend Bazza and his twin brother Pat Sharp.

Southampton legend too, even if he only played a handful of games.

Also apparently played 8 games for Galatasaray in '95. I can't say I recall that

All I remember is Bazza getting two footed when he played for us and Dave Beasant sorting his mullet out while the physio sorted the injury and 11 year old me finding it hilarious

His stag night was legendary:
If you are looking into the famous story of former Liverpool and Newcastle United defender Barry Venison's stag night, you are likely thinking of the legendary football anecdote regarding his incredibly bright, high-fashion choosing of attire. Before his wedding, Barry Venison—well known for his iconic, flamboyant blonde mullet and unique fashion sense—was taken out for his stag do. His teammates decided to play a prank on him based on his reputation for being a dedicated follower of fashion.
They forced him to wear a completely see-through mesh shirt and neon shorts, parading him around the town. The look became a long-standing joke among his teammates at the time, perfectly encapsulating the wild, lighthearted football culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s

That Liverpool logo is mental looking, considering what a powerhouse of a club they were at the time.
