We’re delighted to say that Rob, author the superbly funny and topical Off The Post blog has submitted us a magnificently groomed subs bench for Moustache United. Five footballers to complete the hairy dressing room who arguably could and should have made the first team.
Look out for a competition coming soon on Off The Post - win yourself a Wilkinson Sword Titatinium Precision razor to sharpen up your own moustache effort this Movember!
Nice one Rob!
Sam Allardyce: The Blackburn Rovers boss carries the hallmark of a great moustache sporter: years after he shaved it off, his top lip still looks naked. The Bolton stalwart rocked the furry caterpillar ‘tache years when David Seaman was still playing with grubs in the garden. He persisted with the look well into his managerial career, like a real-life Mike Bassett.
David James: Jamo’s ‘tache was short-lived, but it was special while it lasted. The Portsmouth keeper teamed it up with a beautiful bouncy afro and a pink kit for pure 1970s adult entertainment bliss. And it was for charity, so perhaps we will see it return this Movember. Fingers crossed.
Brian Kilcline: In what can only be described as a travesty of justice, Alexi Lalas took the only starting position at Moustache United FC for a ginger-haired moustachioed rocker. But there is definitely room on the bench (only just though) for Killer, waiting for Lalas to pick up an injury – or maybe inflicting it himself – so that he get into the first-team.
George Best: Sadly, alcoholism ravages a man’s shaving habits just as it effects his footballing prowess. If it didn’t, George Best’s top-lip wonder might have become one of football’s all-time great ‘taches. Alas, Georgie’s tramp-esque beard was just around the corner.
Rivelino: As you ultimately find with most things in football, it turns out nobody does footballing facial hair quite as well as the Brazilians. And they don’t come any better than Rivelino. To paraphrase a footballing cliche, this was definitely a moustache of two halves. Does it actually meet in the middle at any point? I can’t decide whether he struggled for growth in the middle or whether he trimmed it to add an extra touch of Mexican bandit chic.
