Will 'Disco King' Toda line?

By Chris Charles BBC Sport Online

Step aside, David Beckham - there's a new king in town.

The Disco King to be precise - aka Tottenham's latest signing, Kazuyuki Toda.

The Japanese midfielder once used the nom de plumage to decribe one of his many wacky hairstyles.

Others, in no particular order of craziness, have included The Mod Mop, the Samurai Ponytail, the Big Bad Baldy and the True Mohawk.

Roughly translated over here as: The Roeder, the Seaman, the Barthez and the Beckham.

Glenn - or was it Glenda?

Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle, who has boasted a few dodgy barnets in his time, insists he has no problem with Toda's hair.

"He's been fairly experimental over the years - it's all good fun," laughed the Middlesex Mullet - "as long as he doesn't dye it red again!"

A reference to Toda's World Cup experiment, the Rabid Red Rooster - think Freddie Ljungberg meets Johnny Rotten and has a fight with him in the barbers.

But will the Japanese folk hero's ever-changing hairstyles reflect his career in the Premiership? Here's four to avoid.

I've been using that Wash 'n' Go - it's gone all right

The Oh My God I've Done A Gazza:
Toda dyes his hair once too often and it all falls out.

Suddenly, his halo slips, no-one wants to know him and he can't even get a game with the youth team.

"No-one likes a bald fella round here, snarls Glenn" - look what happened to Christian Gross.

The Because I'm Worth It:
Toda grows a set of shoulder-length locks and believes he's returned to his spiritual home.

But the hair gets in his eyes and he becomes a virtual spectator in most games.

And as he he spends more and more time in TV adverts and chat shows, fans start to wonder if he really is worth it.

Join our caravan of love

The Living in a Booger Wonderland:
Toda gets himself a G.I. cut and begins acting strangely.

When confronted about his attitude, he does a bunk and goes off to live in a caravan, never to be heard of again.

If only Vanessa Feltz would follow suit.

The Rod Stewart Daft as a Brush
Nice idea, but completely unmanageable.

Beckham's lawyers would carve him up faster than you could say: "This town ain't big enough for the both of us."
