no.2 in a series.

You may recall no.1 referred to the 70's/80's penchant for running with thumbs up:thumb:.

This second article in the series refers to a tendancy to hold your hands slightly higher than would be the norm(approximately 15 cms higher) It was not so typically fashionable in the professional games as the 'thumbs up running' it's popularity was more on the school playing field. It's leading exponent was one Glen Hoddle and it was generally done when an attempt was made to play a slide-rule, side-foot pass with an anticipated maximum altitude of no more than 180 cms. It was generally copied by the school keepy-up whiz and if he'd also gone to the trouble of buying a pristine white Tottenham shirt, then I couldn't be held responsible for impersonating leading tough tackler Graeme Souness from time to time and if this coincided with English winter time and the likelyhood that it would be in close proximity to a muddy puddle.......

Here it is. No 3 Full face beard and moustache combos

As sported by the likes of Archie Gemmill

and Peter Withe was also a leading exponent I recall. I think the search for and eventual capture of 'Yorkshire Ripper' Peter Sutcliffe may have had something to do with the decline. Due to the on-going campaign including showing photo-fit pictures, liberally, during news broadcasts. Though this pre-dated CRIMEWATCH, I don't think too many were prepared to take the risk. Still hasn't stopped Abel Xavier looking like an exact duplicate in negative evidence, though I'm sure the campaign may have mentioned they were seeking a Caucasian with a Yorkshire accent for help with their enquiries.
