The Most Memorable Facial Hair in Sporting History

Lalas had one of the more heinous goatees of the '90s, so we're still a little impressed by how dapper he looks now that he's cleaned himself up.

While the thin mutton chops and improvised facial dreads are one of the more unfortunate combinations in the history of sports and/or faces, we expect no less from the man who also grew a soul patch on the back of his head.

Namath was better known as a clean-shaven pretty boy out of Alabama, which is probably why he was more than willing to take $10,000 from Schick to shave this thing off in '69. His short-lived biker 'stache still went on to inspire a generation of porn extras, and for that we say, "Thank you?"

Beckham has somehow famously pulled off every style of facial hair short of the Fu Manchu. Yes, even this villainous 'stache in the lead up to the London Games. But his five-o'clock shadow is probably the one your girlfriend is thinking of when she accidentally calls you David.

Harden started growing his beard at Arizona State because he was admittedly too lazy to shave. It's since take on the shape of a spade shovel and become one of the most iconic beards in sports, as seen here, here, and here.

It was easy to lose Frazier's famous mutton chops among his platforms, three-pieces, and fedoras he wore while riding through New York in a Rolls Royce. But you couldn't miss them once he stepped on the court, and led the Knicks to two NBA Titles in the early-'70s. Maybe a revival of the mutton chops by Melo would help end New York's now-forty-year dry spell.
