The Friday Moustache


the beatroot is proud to add to his ‘Hall of Famous Polish Moustaches’ Poland’s greatest footballer, Zbigniew Boniek.

Unlike some variations, Zbig’s contribution to the art of growing a Polish moustache is a modest expression of his hair growing talents. No great Salvador Dali type curly wings for our Boniek (it would have made him an easy target for defenders to disrupt play by hanging onto it) .

So what we have is a trimmed, sensible tache. Only one problem: it’s ginger! It looks like a Scottish hamster has decided to nest under Zbigniew’s nose.

But, nonetheless, I have to award the beatroot’s ‘Finest Moustache on a Sporting Pole Award’ to Mr Boniek, for his lifelong contribution to facial hair topography.

Beatroot,

Looks like you have a comment spammer on the loose...

Then they are showing some taste at last! It's the price you pay for having the verification thing turned off. I get bored with putting in those weird looking letters, so other people must to, I suppose...

moustacccchhhe have a fascinating history in Poland and in many other countries. Go to Turkey. You see young men with no tache, and then all of a sudden, they grow a tache when they get married. Why? Why is a miustache a sign of maturity? In Poland it used to be that way, I think, but no longer. Why?

These are the questions that must be answered!

Speaking of sports 'taches how could we overlook that dude from the pain killer ad who made a rude sign at the Russians at the Moscow Olympics?

Wladyslaw Kozakiewicz is his name.

There is a different school of thought when it comes to moustaches....
