I think I remember Colm McKinstry had a beard, Horse Regan in his early years and John Stenson too?
The Westmeath Goalie who strangely enough is poppin up in every thread used to have big dirty ginger stubble!!
Declan McCrossan. Wait - are u-16s allowed to tog out?
Micheál Collins, Mayo

Did Jim MCGuinness have a beard or just long hair that got everywhere? Handlebar tasches like McCabe, Skelton or O Hagen dont count either. Neither does forgetting to shave like Mickey Harte.

You decide. Nicely trimmed.
Looks like John Duffy behind him. He sported a nice full one for a season or two.

Alright, I m deciding. Wussy goatees are for potters and old ladies. He s out.
did gay mc manus have a beard for awhile
Danny Kelly...brother of the famous TV "personality" Gerry....keeper in the 1968 AIF for Down.
Con Moynihan, Mayo half-back in the 1970's. Same era as John O'Mahony. Most recently known for infamous management of Mayo Ladies which ended in tears
Tommy Drumm (in later years)
Sean Lowry (in earlier years I think)
What about Michael Cusack, the daddy beard of the GAA?
Liam O'Donoghue, Limerick circa 1980
Liam Currams - Offaly
Cork's John Allen in 1983 - he'd a beard then
Had the Bomber always a beard or is that just a later life thing?
That grizzly from Cavan who came on as sub against Armagh . Eddie Reilly i think he is, could also do with a scrape.
Come to think of it ive seen him a few times and he wouldnt be lost on that dirtiest team thats on the other thread.
did colm parkinson have a bit of a beard at one stage?
Sean Devlin, Armagh (I still believe if his shot that hit the post in 1977 early in the second half, had gone in, there might have been a different outcome against Dublin that day ;D).
There was also a lad from Westmeath, called Micksey Clarke I believe, who sported a beard
Frank McNamee of Longford - late 80's/early 90's
half back/half forward , could play corner back on this team.
Paddy reilly of dublin in the other corner

Could also be a hint of ginger amongst his whiskers so get him on the ginger team as well!!
Ricey, Mugsy and that other hairy f**ker that scored the goal!

mad eddie all the way...in fairness to the man, he's one of the few who seem to be truly passionate about wearing the royal breffni blue. what was it jerome quinn said when he came on against armagh? 'he looks like he's killed a few bears in his time' or something along those lines i think. class!
