The ten best face warmers in football.
10. Gennaro Gattuso
The former Milan legend spots a style that could be best known as the ‘ole buccaneer’, but it suited him well enough as he added to his trophy cabinet over the years.
9. Antonio Luna
The Spaniard may be a recent addition to the Premier League, but he does sport some strong facial fuzz that will only grow with his experience in the English top flight. It does get cold in the winter after all!
8. Roy Keane
When Keane retired from playing the game he went up into the woods and lived in a log cabin where he attempted to rid himself of all the angry demons that haunted his career. Occasionally he would come down to scare children and manage football teams, but his emergence coincided with this excellent effort.
7. Thierry Henry
Oh la la, very sophisticated, monsieur! Henry has decided to age gracefully with this fine accompaniment with and has ditched the clean shaven look that he sported when dominating the world game.
6. Daniele De Rossi
Roma need a warrior to take over Francesco Totti’s legacy once he retires and they need look no further than Il Gladiatore, who most likely crawled out of the womb ready for battle before chewing through his own umbilical cord and letting the blood drip down his one day old beard.
5. Josh Brillante
Great effort, and it’s even better when you realise that Brillante is still only 20 years old. He certainly won’t need his i.d in the pub and in ten years he’s fully expected to transform into Cousin It.
4. Tim Howard
The big American is currently rocking a look that is known as ‘flipping the script’, in which the man in question shaves his head and grows one ginormous beard. When he gets his tattoos out he makes for quite the sight.
3. Andrea Pirlo
After Pirlo won the Champions League and the World Cup, there weren’t many ways that he could become any cooler. Then he grew a beard and upped the game for everybody. Also known as Beard Idol.
2. Olof Mellberg
After seven years of solid service Villa fans have now grown partial to a good beard (it’s the only reason they signed Antonio Luna) and during those seven years his lustrous facial hair frequently won the annual ‘Best Beard’ competition held by the fans, which makes him the most decorated Villa player in recent history.
1. Davide Moscardelli
Bologna got so desperate for goals that they thought they would sign a grizzly bear to scare opposition defenders. However, they signed Serpico instead.
