Ospreys ban spray tans and coloured boots

THE Ospreys have banned players from having spray tans and coloured boots in an attempt to shed the club’s “Galacticos” tag.

With the departure of high-profile names, or the so-called “pretty boys” such as Gavin Henson and James Hook, the Liberty Stadium side based in Swansea want to create headlines based on their performances on the pitch rather than for any beauty rituals or fashion statements.

Players are now not allowed to have a spray tan and must not wear coloured boots – unless they have earned the right to do so.
