Stefan Harakis dodged getting his head shaved by winning his bet with Brighton Electricity team-mates.

The out-of-sorts striker, who had failed to score all season, promised chums he would shave off all his 1970s Afro if he had not scored by the end of the Lower Bevendean match last fortnight.

However that game was postponed, giving Stefan a week's grace.

But last weekend he grabbed two goals as Electricity beat Brighton Telephones 10-0 in a Brighton League Division Three fixture...meaning his hair has been spared.

Team-mate George Carney said: "Stefan went berserk when he scored. He was loving every moment of it, because I don't think he ever fancied losing all his hair."

Ex-Greek youth footballer Stefan, who lives in Brighton, had earlier in the campaign vowed to stop shaving until he found the net, but found his prickly face a turn-off on the dating front.

Manager Des McDonald grumbled: "We didn't celebrate his goals, because we wanted to see him lose his hair."

Well because we like to serve the popular demand, Park Life has made it possible for them. By the wonders of modern technology, we show you a picture of Stefan looking like Manchester United goalkeeper Fabian Barthez. Suits him, don't you think?
