A teenager was banned from the classroom by his school because he had a haircut inspired by his footballing heroes. Thirteen-year-old Lewis Kenny copied Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero and Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale with his hairstyle, but teachers considered it too 'extreme'. The year nine pupil, who is mad about football and rugby league, was taken out of classes and put in 'isolation' for a day  by St Ambrose Barlow High School in Wardley, Salford. Lewis's parents – Liam, 49, and Angela, 50, from Worsley, Greater Manchester, had an emergency meeting with staff and have since made a formal complaint.
