Initially made famous by a contingent of Manchester City players, including forward Carlos Tevez, snoods have become popular across the country and in all forms of the game.

But Tevez and company will now have do without the popular fashion accessory.

Thet should be banned from wearing gloves too, unless they're in goal.

If they don't like it quit, and let those talented players who cannot get a break may get a chance.
