The history of Andy's beard.


A rare photo of a clean shaven Andy Morris, seen here attempting "The Nigh". This shot is the pull to leg (I'm not pulling your leg) from any delivery whatsoever.

It's a widely held belief that Andy started growing facial hair because he was mobbed so often by groups of young girls who were convinced he was Rock Hudson.

The moustache.


Skip along with 1000s of young lads opted to try out the moustache, the first stage of facial hair. I believe he first "grew" a moustache when borrowing his mum's eyeliner, you draw on a moustache, just to see what it would look like. You then ask friends what they think and you get an answer after the laughter dies down.

Here we see skip's bowling action and sporting the "Geoff Read"

Part three


Here we see skip sporting the mutton chops and moustache, trendy in the early 1900s. Note "the look" ~ staring at the umpire in disbelief that you have been given lbw.

Skip's beard - thereby hangs a tale.


Skip here depicted with the "full set", after 35 years growth. The shot here is the off cut, belt supplied by "ties R us".
