Looking at the Fashion of facial hair in football. In the late 1800s - the early 1900s the fashion was to have a 'Lip Warner', single (very bushy) moustache. As you can see in the 1885 Nottingham Forest team, they all have the 'Lip Warmer', also warn by Notts footballer Herbert Kilpin. Todays style in football (if they have a beard) is the fashionable stubble, 'Chin-chiller' or the neat shape-up.
