AS A BEARDED man myself, this is further proof that I shall never shave again.
In the last few years, Andrea Pirlo has become the man crush of quite a few football fans, and the inspiration for countless attempts at growing facial hair.
And thanks to the good people at TalkSPORT, we now have conclusive proof that beards make you instantly more attractive (I keep telling myself this).
They took two of Pirlo, one taken in 2005 and one as he is today, and asked several women to give their opinions on which version of the Italian legend looks more handsome.
Needless to say, bearded Pirlo won by a landslide.
