A senior Newcastle United player 'felt the wrath' of Brian Kilcline and his wife after cutting the cult hero's hair on an end of season trip.
That is according to former team-mate Alan Thompson, who was among those present in Ayia Napa when Newcastle celebrated promotion to the Premier League in 1993. One particular team bonding 'session' infamously went wrong after a brave individual decided to target Kilcline's prized locks when he fell asleep.
Kilcline previously told ChronicleLive 'the only time I had a bad time was when I had my hair cut' and the identity of the culprit remained something of a mystery for many years. Former Newcastle defender Barry Vension previously said 'if someone wants to accuse me of doing it, I will take the blame' and, clearly, it was not one of the club's younger players who picked up the scissors as Thompson explained.
