From October 5, 2024, Frank Ilett – a die-hard Manchester United fan – decided to embark on a challenge as bizarre as it is symbolic: not to cut his hair until the Red Devils win at least five consecutive matches. A vow simple in its rules, but extremely complicated in practice.
Because as the months go by, Frank’s hair grows, but United’s successes continue to be too inconsistent. A team capable of beating Chelsea, only to then crash out disastrously in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby. A performance like a “ticking time bomb,” which has made the fan’s feat even more difficult than expected.
Frank’s journey, shared on social media with self-irony, has shown a radical transformation: from shaved, in just a few months he found himself with increasingly thick hair, a symbol of hope but also of frustration.
With the arrival of Rúben Amorim on United’s bench, many – himself included – expected a turning point. But the winning streak still hasn’t come, and soon the fan will blow out the first candle of this unusual “marathon.”
What seemed like a lighthearted challenge, however, took an unpleasant turn. The video showing Frank attacked at Old Trafford has gone viral, the victim of an inexplicable and unjustifiable act.
A prank or an act of madness? It’s hard to find a reasonable explanation. His story remains the perfect portrait of what it means to live football passion between irony and suffering, but also a warning: fandom should unite and never turn into violence.
