Former Wales international and BBC pundit Robbie Savage shows off his new hairstyle after having his ponytail cut off.

BBC football pundit Robbie Savage has had his famous ponytail cut off ahead of his 40th birthday.

The former Wales international decided to go for a shorter style before taking on a starring role on Match Of The Day this season, following Alan Hansen's retirement.

He told The Mirror: "I'll be 40 soon and, 25 years too late, I decided it was time to leave the 1980s behind.

"I turn 40 in October, and although age is only a number, there comes a time when you have to grow old gracefully. I've left the 1980s and 1990s behind, and finally I've caught up with the modern world, and I feel liberated. It's literally a big weight off my shoulders!

"On the school run, you don't see many dads in the playground with long blond hairstyles or ponytails, and I just felt it was time to discover what lies beneath the haystack, I had no idea whether it was brown, red or grey."

He revealed the results of his hair cut on his Instagram account:
