My numbers for hair pigmentation in English Rugby Union Internationals since 1990 (my own judgment):
Light Hair: 74/230 - 32.17%
Blond Hair: 50/230 - 21.73%
Red Hair: 7/230 - 3.04%
Medium Hair: 89/230 - 38.69%
Dark Hair: 67/230 - 29.13%
Combined with Football and Cricket Internationals:
Light Hair: 222/749 - 29.63%
Blond Hair: 152/749 - 20.29%
Red Hair: 32/749 - 4.27%
Medium Hair: 329/749 - 43.92%
Dark Hair: 198/749 - 26.43%
However I don't think the Rugby players are that representative for a number of reasons, so take the previous totals I posted as more accurate for now.
Light Hair: 148/519 = 28.51%
Blond Hair: 102/519 = 19.65%
Red Hair: 25/519 = 4.81%
Medium Hair: 240/519 = 46.24%
Dark Hair: 131/519 = 25.24%

Was reading an old post on the forum with old anthropological numbers for England, and with some interpretation, my figures for hair fit pretty well:
My numbers for Blond + Golden Brown basically add up to the 25% Blond stated here, and my light hair figures of c.28% is the same as their blond+red. My dark brown hair numbers are higher than stated here, but tbh I've found separating medium from dark brown difficult, it's very arbitrary. I wrote earlier that I had black hair at 4% but looking back at the notes, I had most of them marked as dark brunet/black, I counted them as black if they were so dark I couldn't tell. My red hair figure is 1% or so higher, but I think 4% is more correct personally.English: The majority of English are mixed or ''medium'' brown haired. The dark brown haired population is less than in Scotland, except for certain regions, including most notably Cornwall and Hertfordshire. A plausible estimate of England's ''medium'' brown haired population is around 50%. In sharp contrast blondes or those with fair hair are known to be only 25% of the population as a whole, but are a higher population on the North Sea coast in historic Anglo-Saxon and Norse strongholds. Coon has noted that blondes are only a fraction more in number than true brunettes, or those with dark hair. Those with dark hair, lower than in Scotland, fall around 20 - 22% according to Beddoe (far higher in certain regions). Red hair runs from around 3%, while black 1%. Of eye colour the majority of English are ''light-mixed'' eyed (45%) not true blue at around 20% ''mixed'' (hazel) eyed, while the minority dark brown. Blue eyes appear to be in a higher number than Scotland, but still they are the minority at about 20%. However different regions massively differ and because of limited available anthropological survey results, estimates cannot be accurate on percentages as a whole but only be loosely estimated.
England:
Medium brown haired: 50%
Blonde haired: 25%
Dark brown haired: 20 - 22%
Red hair: 3%
Black hair: 1%

This isn't entirely correct, you have to read the Hooton study more carefully and do some math yourself to extract the numbers which I did. Irish eye colour:
Pure brown 0,5%
All Mixed eyes 52,3%
Grey and grey-blue 4,4%
Blue 42,4%
Out of “mixed” eyes
3,2% very pronouncedly dark (or 1,67% of total)
7,2% pronouncedly dark (3,76% of total)
12,4% mixed equally (6,48% of total)
17,9% pronouncedly light mixed (9,36% of total)
59,3% very pronouncedly light (31,01% of total)
77,2% of mixed eyes are light mixed or 40,37% of total giving a total of 87,7% light and mostly light mixed eyes.
59,3% of mixed eyes are very pronouncedly light giving a total of 77,8% light and light mixed eyes.
So overall a total of 87,7% eyes are light and mostly light mixed (where the light part of the iris is greater than the dark part). However only 77,8% of eyes are light if you count only "very pronouncedly light" mixed eyes (where the light part of the iris is much bigger than the dark part).

We have also to remember the British Islanders are not equally blond, nor brunet, nor redhead. The blondest are English, with the highest incidence in the historical “Danelaw” area, added to them the eastern coastal Scots and Scottish Islanders. The highest incidence of brown hair is in the Celtic fringe especially in Ireland, West Scotland, Wales, Cornwall. The highest incidence of black hair is in Wales and South - West England ( especially Cornwall). The highest frequency of blue eyes is Ireland, Scotland, Central England and Yorkshires. The highest incidence of gray eyes is in Scotland and northern England. Highest incidence of brown eyes is in South - West England, Eastern England and South - East England. The highest incidence of ginger hair is in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Yorkshires.
