LONDON (Reuters) - Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton joked his players would be a commentator's nightmare after he and they shaved their heads to raise funds for team mate Nick Anderton who is undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer.

A barber, and supporter of rivals Bristol City, wielded the clippers on Jan 16 -- referencing Anderton's shirt number -- with fans of the League One English club also invited to lose their locks.

"There's going to be some odd stares when we get to play games, a commentator's nightmare -- a team of skinheads. But it's a phenomenal cause and it's the least we can do," Barton told the BBC.
