About

Wayne Bridge is a retired professional footballer who notably played as a left-back for clubs like Southampton, Chelsea, and Manchester City, representing England's national team with 36 appearances during his career. Known for winning the Premier League title in 2004, Bridge was considered one of the best left-backs of his generation. At age 44, Bridge reportedly underwent a hair transplant procedure at the DHI Global clinic near Harley Street in London, addressing hair loss that had been affecting him since his mid-30s. The procedure involved removing 4,085 individual hair follicles and replanting them in balding areas using a specialized technique. Bridge was transparent about his decision, noting he sought the treatment to give himself a "boost" and was inspired by former cricket star Phil Tuffnell's similar experience. Publicly supporting his choice, Bridge's wife Frankie encouraged the procedure, with Bridge stating that "so many men are getting help with their hair and it is really no big deal." Since the transplant, he has been seen at public events like the screening of 'The Wild Robot' with visibly thicker and fuller hair, suggesting a successful outcome to his cosmetic intervention.
