They're all hipsters, including Blessed of course. The oldest hipster in town.

Maybe it's a 70s thing, but I like to see a really hairy bushy one.

There's only one reason to grow a beard. To look f***ing hard! Not as some bizarre fashion statement. You grow a beard to say:

1) I cannot be arsed spending time on personal grooming of a morning, when there are enemies to disembowel and  virgins to pillage.
2) I am so hard, I can even cope with the nigh-on unbearable itching that facial hair generates.

As I say, you do NOT grow a beard to be fashionable. That goes against the laws of nature.

That catastrophe that Clayton is growing is an abomination that will be brought up in post-apocalypse classrooms in caves, to teach feral kids how f***ing soft the world had gone by 2014, and how the ensuing global annihilation was simply a case of the world getting what was coming to it. He looks like a 12 year old with a tub of hair gel, magnetic paint on his chin and a bag of ginger coloured iron filings. And I bet he paid more than the GDP of a sub-Saharan country to have the f**ker styled. The t**t.

Here's an example of a what a proper mester's beard looks like. Micky Droy, c.1980. A defender so hard that had he ever gone into a tackle with Alan Little, a new universe would have emerged from the collision.

He grew it to raise money for the Huddersfield Town Foundation.

Ahh, that explains it. It's the "let's do something wacky and get people to give to charity" tendency.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to let someone pour a bucket of cold water over his head? Or alternatively for him to do the Great North Run?

Even easier for him to just put some money in himself...

You'd better ask him.

I daresay he wasn't thinking about whether or not it would wind up a bunch of miserable old farts on a Doncaster Rovers forum when he chose to do it.

Typical footballer. No thought for other people.

Growing a beard of that magnitude is a damn sight harder than running a half marathon or having some water chucked over you. Isn't that what charity challenges are supposed to be, something difficult? Fair play to him, even if it does look a bit daft. Just the itching alone would drive me mental after a couple of weeks.

Besides, I thought they were just massive fans of that bloke off the bake off who chucked his ice cream in the bin.

I don't like those great big bush beards, nasty hairy things.. Nice close cropped beards are different. I do like them.....

Sideburns.. I love sideburns.. Not the Amos from Emmerdale Farm/Noddy Holder sidies, the Tim Curry in Rocky Horror show kind..Yum. :)

What's all this about itchy beards?
I've had a beard for over ten years and I've no clue what you're talking about.
Is there a great Doncaster-beard-lice-epidemic going on that I haven't heard about?
Did somebody forget to get dipped after their last trip to Oakwell?  :lol:

I have to admit, I agree with all of BST's comments made at the time.

Horrible itchy scruffy things.

I think we've now passed peak beard for this generation .

Having said that, anyone who is anti-beard, are clearly jealous because they can't grow one themselves.
