See, this subject has come up a few times in the past on the forums; the decline into almost extinction of the footballer's 'tache.
Back in the day, when i were a lad, etc. moustaches were a big part of the game, all the best players had them. Well, the most stylish, anyway, best is maybe a bit generous.
Liverpool were perhaps most renowned for their facial furniture, with former greats such as Graeme Souness, Ian Rush & Bruce Grobbelaar
Sadly, for the Mighty Spurs, by 1981 the entire squads facial hair had all washed upstream in the post-match bath, and formed a community on Ricky Villa's face
The last player to sport a top lip warmer of any real note for his country was Mr David Seaman:
But today the Daily Mail (yeah, i clicked it by accident after seeing "Moustache" and "Football" in the same headline on Newsnow), load of toss that it is, dug up a pic of Ballack sporting a rather finely groomed gentlemans nose fringe for an advert:
Are we on the verge of a resurgance in bushy mushed defenders and silky-skilled/fuzzy-faced strikers? Was it just coincidence that the lip-browed were so successful, or does football and the tail of Sampson hold more weight than we ever imagined?
please, the great unwashed, opine now...
