SHANE BYRNE HAS been praised for his sporting prowess many times in the past, but today it’s his glorious mullet that’s getting all the attention.

Leaving our qualms about the methodological rigour of such a survey aside for a moment, the news of Byrne’s award did get us thinking. Was his mullet genuinely the best hairstyle of the last 40 years? Or did Byrne only get the nod because Troy Polamalu wasn’t free to come to the awards ceremony?
Here are some of our favourites.
