Bruno Guimaraes' mother did not let her son get Ronaldo's iconic haircut during the 2002 World Cup. You suspect there are a few young Geordies who have been dealt a similarly crushing blow when they have asked their parents for Bruno's signature bleached trim. There might be a few more yet if Bruno has a tournament to remember in Qatar.
Eddie Howe, for one, believes the World Cup is the 'perfect stage' for the Newcastle United star to 'show the world how good he is'. If football fans across the globe did not already know, of course.
This is a midfielder, after all, who is one of the best in his position in the Premier League on his day. Few players can press and win the ball back like Bruno but, also, carry it forward and create chances, too, as the 25-year-old can with his vision and passing range. That is before you mention Bruno's goals.
