KEVIN PHILLIPS was unveiled as South Shields manager – and fans couldn't get enough of his new look.
The former Premier League striker, 48, took charge at the seventh-tier club in his first managerial role.
And with a new job came a new look as well for the ex-Sunderland, Southampton and West Brom striker.
Phillips was pictured at his South Shields unveiling with a dashing new hairstyle on Thursday.
It was a far cry from his shaven headed days during which he banged in 282 career goals.
And the new look caused quite a stir among social media users.
One Twitter user said: "Kevin Phillips' hair with the best comeback since Liverpool in Istanbul."
Another commented: "Super Kevin Phillips with hair is just wrong."
