FANS have been poking fun at the new look Phil Brown showed off during his time at Barrow.
A photo of Brown was posted on Twitter from his time with the League Two club and fans couldn’t believe how he appeared.
Phil Brown looks hugely different from his days in charge of Hull City
They quickly took to social media to joke how he looked almost unrecognisable having grown a beard and appearing even more tanned than he used to.
One fan wrote: “Does he regret never wearing sun tan lotion (he should).”
Another teased the fact that his tan could be fake, writing: “How much do you spend on spray tans every month?”
One fan made a clever pun about Brown’s time as Hull City manager.
They wrote: “Did his position at Hull become untannable?”
The former Premier League manager is currently without a club after leaving his post as Barrow manager in June 2022.
He wasn’t able to have much of an impact on the Cumbrian side taking charge of just nine league matches.
He managed to steady the ship and the club finished 22nd in League Two to narrowly avoid relegation.

Despite keeping them in the Football League, the 63-year-old was unable to agree terms to extend his time as manager and so ultimately left.
Barrow have turned things around without Brown and currently sit ninth in the League Two table.
