some people clearly don't understand flair, and as one of the creators of the *official* FLAIR concept i feel it is my duty to lay down a few ground rules
FLAIR icons, should show exceptional aptitude in atleast one of the following areas.
-Flair Hair
Flair hair can be anything from whacky colours, to outrageous styles. Afro's are generally a good ticket into the FLAIR hall of fame. Examples:- Carlos Valderama, David James, Djibril Cisse, Cobi Jones
-Anger Issues
Having a very short temper is another of this seasons 'must haves'. However, possible entrants should be careful as ONLY having a short temper will not give you entry into the FLAIR hall of fame. Examples- Ben Thatcher, Craig Bellamy, Thomas Repka
-Being Fat
Fatness is a good ticket in, as it is often accompanied with a lazy attitude to playing (see- Lazy Attitude to Playing). Fatness can also be coupled with drink problem (see- Drink Problem). Examples- Kevin McLeod, Warren Aspinall, Matt Le Tissier, Paul Gascoigne
-Lazy Attitude to Playing
Lazy players have been FLAIR icons for a very long time. Their hard working counter-parts could only dream of possessing their level of laziness. Examples- Dimitar Berbatov, Alvaro Recoba, Matt Le Tissier
-Drugs
A problem with drugs, or maybe even getting caught in possession is a brilliant way to gain entry. Special points go to anyone who has served a drugs ban. Examples- Adrian Mutu, Mark Bosnich, Roman Bednar
-Off-Field Scandal
Generally measured in 'Tabloid Column Inches', scandals off the pitch have the power to grip the nation, and are an excellent way to gain entry. Examples- Stan Collymore, Sven Goran Eriksson, George Best
-Unfulfilled Potential
This is one of the key areas where any FLAIR icon must perform. Football is rife with players who, for one reason of another, have failed to fulfill their excellent potential. Examples- Seth Johnson, Matt Jansen, Paul Gascoigne, Leon Knight
-Drink Problem
Another essential item for any potential FLAIR icon. Candidates may have been pictured drunk the night before a squad selection, for example. Examples- Paul Gascoigne, George Best, Kevin Thornton
note- All entries are subject to scrutinisation from the FLAIRMASTER
