Michael Rosen retains Beard of Autumn title in close shave with cricketer Moeen Ali
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that author Michael Rosen has narrowly retained the Beard of Autumn title he won in 2020 after a close shave with England cricketer Moeen Ali
In the Beard Off final Michael Rosen got 39.2% of the votes cast to Moeen Ali’s 35.3%
The Beard of Autumn is the final quarterly award of the year with the vote for the coveted Beard of the Year 2021 which gets underway at the beginning of December
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we expected the Beard Off for the Beard of Autumn to be a close shave. Of course the beards of Michael Rosen and Moeen Ali are very different in style but both signify enormous hirsute gravitas. We congratulate both.
Michael Rosen in accepting the coveted Award has commented:
Thank you very much. Much appreciated. Respect to Moeen. Proud to be the Autumn Beard but remembering that pride comes before the Fall. As it were.
