Terry Eviston had one as far as I remember
Eviston had a 'tache not a beard, as had Tom McNulty, scored goal that won lge in 91 in Cork and again in 95 v Galway in Oriel, also scored in 1-0 that denied bohs the title in oriel in 93 when the fossett circus like 3 way play off ensued featuring bohs/cork/shels as the lge had no rule saying goal diff would apply.
unbelievalby another set of games had to be played as after the first set, all teams were level
mate of mine wrote and got an article published on this in 'when saturday comes'
back to 'taches, the worst and possibly most homo ever has to be our prev manager, the worst in our 80 year lge history
step forward...........Trevor Anderson - looked like one of the village people
didnt ken de mange have one when he played with limerick in the early 90s
Careful now, we're not allowed to talk about 'The Worst' of anything on foot.ie. Let's try and keep this topic about facial hair that is both distinguished and saucy. Like Damien Richardson in his Terry-Thomas-inspired heyday. :)Quote:

Possibly another member of the EL Beard Club is Eoin Hand, not 100% sure though.
Stuey Byrne and sometimes Glen Crowe sport the George Michael/Sonny Crockett stubble look on occassion.
As for 'taches I always thought Jodi Byrne's was very camp looking and Demot O'Neill's was akin to Geoghegan's and pornesque
iirc Eoin Hand did have a beard when he was manager of the National TeamQuote:

Actually the Ramblers left back of the 80's George Wilshaw had a beard at times and just a 'tache at others.
George Best probably had a beard when he played 3 times for Cork Celtic.
You're really showing your age there!.Saw him play for Sligo against Cobh Ramblers in the famous cup semi replays of the early 80swhen Cobh were a non-league club in what was Flower Lodge (now I'm showing my age). Great Player but the classic hatchman of LOIQuote:

Ryan McGavigan sported some sort of beard not so long ago. Alan Keely has had a beard for quite some time now I think.
Alan Keeley got rid of his beard!

Peter Carpenter (Galway United/St. Pat's) had a goatee for a while in his playing days. In fact, he still does...I met him at the weekend.
Wes Charles (Galway United) is currently experimenting with facial hair.
What a deadly thread - could easily be called 'blast from the past'
The Felix/Jesus post gets my potm by a mile. Gas.
Did Padraig brother Mickey ever go the whole hog with the beard? A pic of Athlone league cup winners in 1982 sports no less than 5 taches. John? Healy from seventies era Athlone also went down the beardy route.

Terry Kelly captained Derry on their debut in LOI in 1985, full beard
Keely Jr's beard (like Keano Reeves' woodpecker) comes and goes...Quote:
