Waistcoat sales soared during the last World Cup, all thanks to Gareth Southgate's influence.
Now England's manager has supposedly sent demand for something else through the roof — beard and sideburn transplants.
One Manchester clinic offering the £4,000 procedure claims to have seen a 25 per cent rise in men wanting facial hair over the last year.
Patients have claimed the 52-year-old ex-Premier League player is their 'inspiration'.
Dr Asim Shahmalak, founder of the clinic, told MailOnline his clients hope to achieve the same look that gives Gareth 'natural authority and marks him out as a leader'.
