DALE supporter Tom Henthorne is head and shoulders above the rest.

The 14-year-old Wardle High School pupil, who likes to stand out from the crowd, decided to show his support for the Dale by getting his hair cut to match his favourite strip.

The new cut was the idea of stylist Andy Leech from Hairmasters in Dearnley, who took about 45 minutes to achieve the cutting edge look.

Tom said: "I go to watch the team every week and I have patterns cut in my hair all the time so when my hairdresser suggested the idea I thought it was great.

"I definitely think we’ll make Wembley."

Tom’s friends have all been so impressed with his new hair style that they’ve promised to copy the design if the Dale make it to Wembley.
