And the match official revealed his confidence is now at an all-time high after his hair was given a new lease of life.

Clattenburg told specialists at MHR Clinic: "I was refereeing in the Premier League and I was embarrassed watching myself back on TV as my hair was receding.

"I'd been trying to brush it over to hide some of the bald patches. I was frustrated that I was so young and losing my hair.

"It wasn't unexpected because severe hair loss is normal in my family. I was expecting it to happen but I wanted to have a head of hair."

Meanwhile, MHR Clinic’s leading hair surgeon Ioannis Marmangiolis recalled: “Mark had severe hair loss and required an extensive two-day procedure.

“The extraction was taken from one side of the donor area for the crown area the first day and the second part of the procedure from the other side of the donor area for Zone A and his frontal hair line.

“He was very calm and relaxed during surgery and pleasantly surprised at how painless and easy the
whole procedure was. As you can see an excellent result.”
