Sometimes we convince ourselves that our team aren’t going to win in order to protect us from getting our hopes up and being bitterly disappointed.
But this guy not only convinced himself that Liverpool wouldn’t make a comeback against Borussia Dortmund, he vocalised that opinion, and said he was so certain his team wouldn’t win that he’d shave his hair off if they did.
He now has no hair.
It all started when the fan’s cousin, Heemesh Mistry, from Thurmaston, posted this on Facebook:
Here’s what Bhavick Parmar looked like before Liverpool’s loss.
That’s a fine head of hair.
But then Dejan Lovren sealed a memorable victory for Liverpool, and this happened:
Bhavick is going to try and use the stunt to raise money to charity, with all proceeds going to the Hillsborough Family Support Group.
Fair play to him for sticking by his word and going through with it.
