Moustaches

[Lester B]

Currently trying to write something on the subject of footballers with moustaches. Hibs players specifically.

Have more than a few ideas myself but who had the best facial fuzz in green in your recollection?

Sorry this is slightly off topic from the debates raging elsewhere on the board so I'd just like to add the words brutal, bang average, relegation possibility, the Gordons, Director of Football, transfer window and something abut Paul Hanlon to fit in with the other threads.

Meanwhile....taches :thumbsup:

[truehibernian]

Tony Higgins had a belter, closely matched by Arthur Duncan

[flash]

The late Bobby Smith had a cracker too.

[overdrive]

Jackson Irvine is probably the most recent example.

[jaf]

Neil Orr

Forgot about him!

[Lester B]

Neil Orr

Good call. Had Bobby, Tony and Arthur but not him.

[Mon Dieu4]

Alan Sneddon, they all pale into insignificance when it comes to Petrie though

[McSwanky]

Sneddon had a decent tache on him IIRC. And I'm sure Torto had one at one point as well.

Edit: Seconds late with my Sneddon shout!

[Green forever]

Gordon Rae had one back in the day.

[DIXIHIBS]

Jackie McNamara

[Lester B]

Gordon Rae had one back in the day.

I thought he did but can't find photographic proof! Need evidence.

[Lester B]

Jackie McNamara

Didn't remember that but Google has proved you right :top marks

[darwenhibby]

Dirk Lehman??

[leith lynx]

Gerry O'Brien

Petrie's tache apparently used to have a saucer of milk during match day hospitality

[degenerated]

Dougie Bell had a belter of a mouser26412

[Lester B]

Gerry O'Brien

Wow. A man who only played 7 times for us. I salute your memory sir and yes it was a 70s porn star quality tache he had

[DIXIHIBS]

Des Bremner?

[darwenhibby]

Bolton Hibee has a cracking moustache
He played on Easter Road

[Weir07]

Could have sworn Shades had a tache at one point, a quick Google search shows the evidence on the Topps 77-78 football cards! :agree:

[Hamish]

Malcolm Robertson

[leith lynx]

Colin Harris

[leith lynx]

Jim Brown (ex Hearts)

[O'Rourke3]

Neil Orr. Jim Mc Arthur. Off the top of my head.

Damn that's obscure. Only 5 games.

Good call!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Jamie MacLaren?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Darren McGregor, starting to struggle now 😃

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Albert Kidd?

[Lester B]

Jamie MacLaren?

I thought that was a beard??

[Lester B]

Albert Kidd?

Well he was our player of the year in 1986 :wink:

A moustache General Melchett would have been proud of.

Mark Caughey

There's a particular Hibs associated mouser that a few fans are missing more than they'd ever have expected these days.

[scm70nyd1973]

Tony Higgins had a belter, closely matched by Arthur Duncan

Des Bremner - same era

[Fuzzywuzzy]

John wark always had a starter (along with souness and miller)

Jesus, we're going to need to sing the tache my father wore at this rate! 😀

[Lester B]

Mark Caughey
Bomber Harris
Kevin McKee
Andy Watson

Great list. Especially Caughey. He really wasn’t very good was he?

[Svengali]

Ann Budge if we were doing ‘people in Football’.

Joe Tortolano had a cracker in the mid 80s.

Walter Galbraith looked like a 1940s spiv

Matinee Idol surely:greengrin. Deserves to go in as he signed so many good players.

Tony Rougier? Shaun Dennis?

What a change to get a decent Hibs.net thread particularly with the rampant hysteria elsewhere on here.

[davemcbain]

Surprised no one has mentioned the current manager if he ever goes out for a meal the night before a game again.

Seem to remember Dirk Lehmann had one

Tam the groundsman from memory. Come back Tam.

This thread is way more fun than it should be😀😀

[Bostonhibby]

Hibby, leicester city captain and all round good guy that was Bobby Smith. Was lucky enough to have seen him play for both teams.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230125/238ca7f34a81170e3949070cfcc6abcf.jpg

Surely someone will have a dig at the club? Either at quality,quantity or total lack of interest in bringing moustaches to Easter Road.

[Hibiza]

Sure that Mike McDonald ( goalie ) had a lip carpet.

[fat freddy]

Willie Willie Murray on the wing

[McSwanky]

Any keepers yet? Did Roughie have one? Or Jim McArthur? Struggling to remember.

Surely someone is going to put together a Hibs Tache XI for us all to disagree on?

Thanks. Nice to have a bit of light relief isn’t it?

Rowan Vine.
Barsteward of a beard.

The thought of him still gives me nightmares.

Beard so disqualified. Also no way he was football player. At all.

If we go non-playing personnel, aside from the obvious, Tango Man Kensell quite often sports a tash

Aye, just noticed that I'd attached it to the wrong post! 🙄

[Mibbes Aye]

Got to be Jim McArthur for me.

To supplement his wages he would sell his trimmings to drive through car washes.

What about where the tash is not connected to the beard? I mentioned Kensell earlier. He has a tash and then some bum fluff under his chin. Is that allowed?

[Colr]

Arthur Conan Doyle (Edinburgh Hibby) played in goal for Plymouth and had a great mouser!
