Basil D'Oliveira
Basil sporting a classy "swashbuckler" moustache here. A slightly elevated and more bushy variant on the pencil moustache, the South-African born right-hander oozes class, while avoiding any unwelcome comparisons to seedy Italian mobsters.
Unlike many on this list, George Ulyett was a lifelong supporter of facial fur. Pictured here showing off his own version of the Mexican gringo moustache, there is scarcely an image of George remaining without his well-pruned lip insulation. A talented all-round sportsman, fans of Sheffield Wednesday football club will also fondly remember his trademark 'tache when he played in goal for the club in the 1882-83 and 1883-84 seasons.
Famed for facial hair, Graham Gooch was particularly fond of the handlebar. Here the talismanic opener can be seen enjoying a distinctly bushy variation on his stock moustache. The extra hair clearly borrowed from his ever-receding hairline!
Quite a statement here from the fesirty former England one-day captain as he tries out the distinctive horseshoe moustache. Such an imposing alteration to a man's facial composition though can often be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the craftsmanship and levels of testosterone required for such a drastic change in image must be admired. But, for many the uncanny likeness to 1980's porn stars can often prove too much. Certainly a high-risk strategy.
Classic example of the "lazy boy" moustache. Simple and easily maintained it seems a perfect fit for Beefy, unlike that "mobile" phone.
