QUIZ: Can you identify the 10 owners of the finest Irish sporting moustaches of all time?

Movember

Kevin McGillicuddy

We once tried to grow facial hair. It did not go well.

We ended up with some odd mix of red facial hair and patches on our neck that made us the opposite of what a magnet is.

However if you are an Irish sports star then it seems you can get away with pretty much anything, and the more flimsy the moustache the better.

In honour of Movember why not test yourself in our Irish sporting moustaches quiz.
