Micah Richards Just Scored the Most Random Job Ever (And I'm Here for It)

By Lewis Barnett 2 September, 2025 5 mins read 289 Views

So apparently Micah Richards wasn't busy enough already.

The guy's literally everywhere these days - BBC's Match of the Day, Sky Sports, that CBS Champions League gig with Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher, plus teh Rest Is Football podcast with Lineker and Shearer. Oh, and he just managed some team called Deportrio in something called the Baller League. (Yeah, I had to Google that too.)

Wait, He's Doing What Now?

But here's where it gets properly mental. Richards has just become the face of... wait for it... Remington shavers. You know, those things your dad probably has gathering dust in the bathroom drawer.

The 37-year-old former Manchester City defender is now their "brand ambassador for shave and trim division." Which honestly sounds like the most corporate way possible to say "we're paying him to hold our products and smile."

Listen, I get it though.

The £24,000 Hair Obsession Makes Sense Now

This actually isn't as random as it first sounds when you remember that Richards is absolutely obsessed with his hair. Like, genuinely obsessed. The man gets THREE haircuts per week at £200 a pop. That's £600 weekly. Do the math and you're looking at roughly £24,000 per year just on trims.

Henry and Carragher's faces when he first revealed this on CBS were priceless - they looked like he'd just told them he collects vintage teapots or something equally bizarre.

And get this - he flew his barber Seyi (who's been cutting his hair for 20 years, bless him) all the way to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. Because apparently looking fresh for TV analysis is worth international flight costs.

Poor Seyi's Getting Some Competition

Richards said: "I am buzzing to be working with Remington. My hairstyles have always been a big part of how I express myself – on-and-off the pitch – and I love how Remington makes high-performance tools that fit into everyday routines."

Then he dropped this absolute gem: "I never thought I would be tempted to cheat on my barber, but here I am."

Seyi's probably reading this thinking "after 20 years, THIS is how you repay me?"

The Learning Curve Looks... Interesting

As part of his new gig, Richards has been trying to learn how to cut hair himself. There's apparently a "hilarious video" of his attempts, which honestly sounds like must-watch content. The man who spends more on haircuts than most people spend on their cars is now wielding clippers like some sort of grooming apprentice.

He's also supposed to give out trims to members of the public as part of some challenge. God help those poor souls.

The whole thing is beautifully ridiculous in a way that only Micah Richards could pull off. From Premier League right-back to pundit extraordinaire to... shaver spokesperson? The career trajectory makes about as much sense as Pep's team selections sometimes, but somehow it just works.

Fair play to him though - the guy's built quite the media empire since hanging up his boots, adn this Remington deal is probably just another smart move in what's been a pretty savvy post-football career.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a team finishes at the bottom in the Premier League?

The bottom three teams in each Premier League are relegated, and this is done at the end of every season. The Championship, or second tier, of English football, takes their place. The Championship's top two teams, plus the winner from the Championship playoffs get promoted in their place.

How does Premier League affect the English national team?

The Premier League is a major player in developing English football talent. Many players in the Premier League are selected for England's national team and contribute to international tournaments with their skill and experience. It is believed that the competitive nature of the league and the high quality of its players benefit the national squad. There is debate, however, about the number of players from abroad in the Premier League and whether it has an impact on the chances for English players to play regularly first-team football.

How is Premier League winning determined?

The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. Three points are given to teams for winning, one point for drawing, and no points are awarded if the team loses. If two teams have the same amount of points at the end of the season, the winner will be determined by their goal difference. If the teams remain level, they may use a match at a neutral stadium to decide the championship. This scenario has never been seen in Premier League.

How has the Premier League evolved since its creation?

Since its inception in 1992, the Premier League has undergone significant evolution. The Premier League was formed in 1992 as a breakaway group from the Football League, to capitalize on lucrative television deals. Since then, the league has become a global phenomenon. It attracts top talent from around the globe, undergoes branding changes and experiences massive revenue increases. In addition, the league has seen advances in sports science, stadium technology, and training facilities.

What makes the Premier League different from other European football leagues

The Premier League differs from other European Leagues in several ways, such as its global appeal and financial strength. It also has a competitive depth. The league is a huge international success with lucrative television deals. Premier League teams are known to be unpredictable. They can win on any given day, even if they're not ranked high. The intense atmosphere in stadiums and the fast-paced style of play also contribute to the league's unique identity.
