Best Albion facial hair XI

[El Presidente]

Never mind if it's tache or beardo, here is a star team

Eric Steele
Don Shanks
Les Berry
Steve Foster
Mark Lawrenson
Jimmy Case
Tony Grealish
Peter O'Sullivan
Peter Ward
Frank Worthington
Mike Small

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Oh yes!

At last ... a team I can believe in.

 

[El Presidente]

You and Des could be our celebrity fans Lord B!

 

[El Presidente]

On reflection, Nobby Horton should be there in place of Grealish

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Les Berry is scraping the barrel a bit surely!

Still, could have been worse (Mick Ferguson).

 

[El Presidente]

Les Berry is the bloke from the 118-118 adverts!

Perhaps we should replace him with the legend that is Chris Hutchins!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Did Chris Ramsey have a beard at one point?


Neil Smillie also had a rather ill-judged effort I think.

Perhaps that's what's missing from the current Albion side, a collection of manly beards. Perhaps we should contact McGhee and suggest a few of the players experiment....imagine the size of Butters with a big WG Grace beard, or Cullip, or (shudders) Mayo.

Even better would be Afros. Knight would appear 5 inches taller with a decent sized Afro, then perhaps people wouldn't pick on him so much. Kuipers, Benjamin, we could recreate WBA's famous Three Degrees partnership at Withdean.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Brian Horton should be in there .....

Which manager was it who told them all to shave?

Was it Mullery or Bailey? Can't remember

 

[Sussex on Leith]

Gerry Ryan should be on the bench. Possibly alongside the tranny he pulled, if another current thread is to be believed.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

How can you forget Dennis Mortimer?

 

[El Presidente]

I thought that Mortimer had a shaven haven by the time he came to the Albion?

 

[mona]

No Kit bearded Napier?

 

[On the Left Wing]

Good grief how could I forget Kit's beard --- he lent it to Peter Sutcliffe a few years later

 

[Jambo Seagull]

Where's the legend that is Fred Binney?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

How can you forget Dennis Mortimer?

thats what i was gonna say.

 

[timbha]

an unshaven Paul Clark looked pretty fierce
