Michael Rosen pens couplet to mark Lifetime Achievement Award for his beard
The Beard Liberation Front has said it is pleased that author and Arsenal fan Michael Rosen has told the Ham and High paper that he is ‘honoured’ to have been given a Lifetime Achievement Award as part of National Beard Week 2021.

The paper has published a couplet that he wrote to mark the Award covering the time he spent in the Whittington Hospital in 2020 with COVID-19. At one point his beard was shaved to facilitate treatment but has proved resilient and is now back on top form.
Celebrating his award, Michael penned a couplet:
“How can I complain that I was shaved
“When they ensured my life was saved?”
Michael Rosen is a lifelong Arsenal fan, but the Beard Liberation Front’s London HQ is in Tottenham a short distance from Spurs ground. However while beards are often big in football they are also bigger than football and the positive impact of Rosen’s beard in public life is beyond local rivalries, important as they are.
