Has Arsenal Manager Freddie LjungBerg staked a claim to get on Beard of the Year shortlist?
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the process of determining the Beard of the Year 2019 is underway. The on-line poll to determine the winner is now open and will close on December 24th
The winner is announced on December 28th.
With a 3-1 victory against West Ham on Monday night stand-in Arsenal manager Freddie Ljungberg may have staked a place on the poll.
1% of the current total vote in write-in votes can get him a place on the Beard of the Year poll for the final two weeks
The criteria for Beard of the Year is as follows:
The Award is NOT about people who grow beards in their bedrooms and post pictures of them on the internet
The Award IS about people with consistent beards in the public eye who promote a positive image of the hirsute
TV doctor Xand Van Tulleken and cosmologist Peter Coles currently at Maynooth University in Ireland shared the Award in 2018.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Ljungberg’s beard has come from nowhere, breaking with a very lengthy tradition of clean shaven Arsenal managers. Has he done enough to get on the Beard of the Year poll? It could be the only major honour Arsenal win this year.
