trueblue 64 613 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 IIRC John Greig originally grew his beard to protect stitches in a facial wound and allow him to keep playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also allowed him to get around a club rule of the time, where players weren't allowed beards. So the story went, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't shave because he had stitches on his chin. It became a lucky omen which he promised to shave off after we won the cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course that great Barcelona cup winning team was probably the most impressive team of sideburns ever to win a European trophy.  And an honourable mention for Colin Jackson who kept the great tradition of Rangers sideburns going. . Often wonder if that game had a different outcome, if I would be here to type this. My dad was at the game, obviously came home a very happy bear and in a perky mood. 9 months later, almost to the day, I was born. A massive thank you from me to Johnstone and Stein.

SuperTav 970 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 For some reason I thought there was an Italian player for us with big sideburns. Can't find any pics to support this, Gattuso's look positively poofy in comparison to the ECWC era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
