With hair that reaches his ankles, Aedan Scipio’s dreadlocks are certainly hard to miss. <\/p>\n
In fact, the 36-year-old’s hair is so long that he has to wear a band around his waist to keep it tied to his body.<\/p>\n
But while the forward’s lengthy locks may be his standout feature, they can be somewhat of an operational hazard. <\/p>\n
Scipio emerged from the bench in the 69th minute with Anguilla already 5-0 down against Antigua and Barbuda in their Concacaf Nations League game at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.<\/p>\n
It took just three minutes for Scipio to inadvertently make an impact, when opponent Keon Greene was shown a straight red card for tugging his dreadlocks.<\/p>\n
Incredibly, the hair-pulling didn’t end there. <\/p>\n
Antigua and Barbuda were reduced to nine men in added time when Scipio was taken off his feet by Shalon Knight pulling his dreadlocks from behind. <\/p>\n
Scipio’s Anguilla are 210th in Fifa’s international rankings, with San Marino the only nation below them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With hair that reaches his ankles, Aedan Scipio’s dreadlocks are certainly hard to miss.
