Declan Rice’s Teenage Haircut Draws Comparisons to TikTok Star Thogden
Football fans were left in stitches after an old video of Declan Rice’s teenage haircut was revealed during BT Sport’s pre-match coverage for West Ham’s Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina. The Hammers skipper, now 24, sported a short back and sides with a comb-over on top, prompting fans to draw comparisons between himself and social media sensation Thogden.
One fan remarked that “Young Declan Rice looks like Thogden,” while another commented on his unchanged hairstyle, saying that “Declan Rice hasn’t changed his haircut since he was a schoolboy.” As the video was shown to Rice, he cringed and said, “Oh my god,” before admitting that he was embarrassed.
Thogden, a football content creator with over 1.5 million followers on YouTube, has an army of fans across his social media pages. He has 1.48 million subscribers on YouTube, 637,000 on Instagram, and 338,000 on TikTok.
West Ham went on to achieve their first European triumph in 58 years after Jarrod Bowen’s late winner sealed a 2-1 victory. However, the final took an ugly turn after missiles were thrown from the crowd, leaving Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi bleeding from his head.
