Best All-Time Mustached Platers

[1953 4-2-4]

Hello. Looooong-time lurker. Just got done watching my new "A Decade of Great Goals" DVDs, and watching Ian Rush, a thought came to me--who are the best all-time players to don mustaches?

I can't even think of a top player besides Ian Rush to wear one. I guess the caviat has to be that it has to be someone who has played more than say, 3/4 of his career games with one.

Yeah, so my vote would be Ian Rush.

Darn, can't edit title. I don't mean platers, I mean PLAYERS.

best thread ever

Plater?

[Northside Rovers]

No list of mustached players would be complete without David Seaman.

[1953 4-2-4]

Bearded players don't count. That would be another thread.

[AFCA]

Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Jan Wouters and Danny Blind at a certain time.

Legendary Aberdeen and Scotland captain Willie Miller sported (and still does) a fantastic specimen of a moustache.
He is pictured here lifting the European Cup Winners Cup in 1983...

Graeme Souness was another moustachioed Scot

I always enjoy a little mustard on my plater.

Rush and Souness have to be the top two, and that's not just my red tinted glasses.

[gremista]

There were some great ones on the 78 Argentine team

[1953 4-2-4]

So we have the all-time XI Mustachioed approx:

----------Seaman/Grobbelaar(remember him?)---
Wouters--Rijkarrd--Rivelino--Sounness
--------Didi--Gullitt--Chastain
---------Voller--Milla--Rush

If someone knows the positions better than me, redo it. I don't know where on the field some of these players belong. Nor can I spell most of their names.

The Holy Grail would be to see a pro nowadays sport one of those Rollie Fingers handle-bar 'staches.

[Bauser]

Ironmen Claudio Gentile and Jürgen Kohler.

How come? People with beards usually have moustaches as well. You could then add Maradona (occasionally bearded) and Socrates to the list.

There's probably several other players who wore moustaches at some time or another during their careers.

Vicente del Bosque sported a mustache in his playing days.

[Excape Goat]

Add Paul Breitner, Uli Stielike to the list.

[DaniCrew]

Just some i remember from the top of my head:

Germany:
Toni Schumacher
Alloffs
Karl-Heinz Forster

Argentina:
Luque
Ardiles
LaRosa
Tarantini
Diego (at times)

Colombia:
Valderrama
Alvares
Valencia
DeAvila

Brazil:
Socrates
Falcao

Italy:
Gentile
Oreali

Belgium:
Pfaff

haha i made the same mistake in another thread and typed modeator instead of moderator.

Anyways no list of mustached players will be complete with the world's #1 goal scorer Ali Daei. Eventhough he dosen't have his mustache anymore but he was on top of his game when he did.

[Emre5]

great thread! welcome to bs, which sometimes actually means big soccer !

many of argentina 78, seaman, ali daei, roger milla, valderamma for sure!
Boniek, he had a great one

mustache growing contest at work this week, great.
c'mon hormones.
of course, i am one to grow the LEGWINSKI and shave it all but the mustache on the contest day.
