Facial Hair of The Week

Given the victory of The Wallabies over the All Blacks, we think it's only fair that this week we honour one of The Greats.

With a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp, Merv was never a stunning example of the human form. But he more than made up for it with a moustache which the Aboriginal people named "that which cannot be tamed or made to look girly".

I mean Dear Lord look at it. Can you imagine any modern sporting hero having the balls to grow something as dominating as that? Maybe after the World Cup we'll take this campaign global, and see which sporting stars we can get to grow the best facial hair. Early bets have Roger Federer losing the tennis heats to Venus Williams, with soccer being represented by someone who isn't an Englishman.

Merv, you're a legend.
