On 1 February, Davide Moscardelli turned 38. He is the most famous beard in Italy, and made of it a brand(as well as a line of t-shirts). The Italian-Belgian only appeared in the Serie A at the age of 30, dressing up the jerseys of Chievo Verona and Bologna, but giving fans tricks and plays unexpected for a boy of 185 cm per 80 kg. Now he plays in Serie C at Arezzo and in honor of his beard we have drawn up a Top 11 of the most beautiful beards that have walked on the football fields.

But first a roundup of goals and plays by Davide Moscardelli.

Tim Howard: US Colorado Rapids goalkeeper. On his curriculum a goal marked directly by goal kick with the jersey of Everton (against Bolton in 2012) and the record of saves (16) in a match of a world championship (USA - Belgium).

Abel Xavier: Portuguese full-back with experiences in Bari and Rome, famous for his blonde beard. He is currently coaching Mozambique.

Matthias Holst: rocky central German, who became "famous" in the ranks of the Hansa Rostock. Currently playing among the amateurs of Rödemisser

Panayotis Alexander "Alexi" Lalas: bearded man who stepped into the Serie A fields with the Padua jersey, also scoring a goal to the Milan, champion of Italy and Europe at that time. Given the look, Lalas has tried his career in music both as a soloist and with his historic band, "The Gypsies".

Michel Morganella: Swiss full-back from Palermo who has always had eccentric looks with noteworthy combinations of hair and beard.

Joe Ledley: Welsh midfielder from Crystal Palace with a high quality beard who became famous during the last Europeans with his "Joe Ledley's dance".
