and I don't mean modern goatee-bollox or baby-fuzz - proper beard...

I'm struggling.. best i can offer is Ricardo - and he sails very close to disqualification for babyfuzz/goatee...

This is a ridiculous pro-beard thread. We all know that beards are not the answer. Even if we're not sure of the question.

Typical beardmongering from a beardosceptic.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Ivan Campo dabbled with the idea, even if not in a totally commited way!

Not the best pic, but what Ian Moores lacked by way of goal-scoring ability he made up for in facial hair.

They've all had one recently. Here's Big Dave.

Well I say "all". Half the team are either too young to grow one or realise that it's usually ageing players desperately trying to hang on to their youth by being on fleek innit.

Anyway, that's not a beard. This is a beard.

There's only one and this current shower of shite couldn't lace his boots. Frank Worthington was the best entertaining footballer I have seen for Bolton, with a beard of course.
