Two Antigua and Barbuda Players Dismissed for Tugging Anguilla Player's Dreadlocks

Two Antigua and Barbuda Players Dismissed for Tugging Anguilla Player’s Dreadlocks

News

Aedan Scipio is difficult to overlook, with dreadlocks stretching all the way down to his ankles.

The 36-year-old’s hair is so lengthy that he uses a band around his waist to secure it against his body.

Although the forward’s extraordinary hairstyle is his most recognizable feature, it can also create unexpected problems on the pitch.

Scipio came on as a substitute in the 69th minute, with Anguilla trailing Antigua and Barbuda 5-0 in their Concacaf Nations League match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

Only three minutes after his introduction, Scipio became involved in a remarkable incident as Keon Greene received a straight red card for pulling his dreadlocks.

Surprisingly, that was not the final hair-pulling incident of the match.

Antigua and Barbuda finished the game with nine players after Shalon Knight dragged Scipio to the ground by his dreadlocks from behind during stoppage time.

Anguilla occupy 210th place in the Fifa world rankings, with only San Marino positioned beneath them.
