Beard Liberation Front
5th May
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has congratulated Welsh snooker player Mark Williams on an impactful display of Beard Power as he claimed runner up place in the final of the World Snooker Championships at the Crucible in Sheffield on Monday.
Williams has long been known for his trademark beard. However he has long had a habit of shaving the beard off as he progressed through Championships, often with unfortunate results in respect of his snooker table success.
In 2025 he kept the beard and nearly gave Chinese champion Zhao Xintong a close shave in the final session.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we are pleased that Mark Williams has finally heeded our long standing advice not to shave his beard as he progresses through snooker championships. It didn’t quite work at the Crucible but the Beard Power did see him through to the final at age 50.
