against Fulham at the KC Stadium
Hull City's Tom Huddlestone scored his first goal in over two and a half years on Saturday, before honouring a bet by getting an impromptu pitch-side haircut.
The English
midfielder made a bet during his time with previous club Tottenham
Hotspur that he would not cut his hair until he next scored a goal.
Having
last found the net in Spurs' 3-3 draw with Arsenal in April 2011, his
hair has swelled into a huge afro, but he finally ended his drought in
Hull's 6-0 victory at home to Fulham.
Huddlestone
put Hull 4-0 up in the 67th minute, smashing home from the edge of the
area, before running to the touchline, where a member of the Hull staff
produced a pair of scissors and cut off a sizeable lock of his hair.
"That
(the celebration) has been sorted out since the beginning of last
season at Tottenham," said Huddlestone, who was also celebrating his
27th birthday on Saturday. "I've had to wait until today for it to
happen."
Huddlestone also confirmed that he had been sponsored for letting his hair grow and would be donating the money to charity.
"That
was the main thing," he said. "It started as a bit of banter with some
of my friends from Nottingham and I set it up for charity. It lasted
longer than expected, but it's for a good cause.
"Thankfully I can cut it now."
