Jesse Lingard is well known by English football fans for many reasons.
For Manchester United supporters, he was his superb expert time winner during the FA Cup 2016 final against Crystal Palace. For West Ham United fans, it was his remarkable six -month loan at London Stadium, where he scored nine goals in 16 games – probably the best period in his career.

After having marked, Lingard raised his hands in front of him, shaping a “J” and an “L” – his initials – a celebration as unique as the emblematic.
In a recent interview with GQ KoreaLingard, now playing in League K for FC Seoul, revealed the origin of the famous celebration.
“When I was in Manchester United, we played West Brom. I was trying to practice this celebration,” he recalls. “First of all, I did different things. I turned J & L. So if I scored today, I would do this celebration. ”
“So I scored and I did this,” he added. “Few people knew what was going on. In the end, I explained what it means. It’s my subsequent ego, J-Lingz. It’s my business, Guy.”
The celebration was not the only thing that Lingard spoke during his interview – he also discussed his new striking look.
The former English international adopted an almost Korean style haircut, which surprised many fans and sparked light jokes online.
“Whenever I receive a haircut, I like to brush. I need to be fresh,” said Lingard. “Most of our matches are on television, so I like to look fresh. Probably once a week, I receive a haircut. Very popular in England, this haircut.”
Different country, new style – but the same J -Lingz spirit remains.
