manxramselly Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Was it Cloughie who made Derek Hayles shave his beard off in the seventies because he reckoned he would be four miles an hour faster without it?If not,who was it?Did it make him faster and do you think Johnnys is getting a bit out of control and that extra four miles an hour could be the difference between automatic promotion and the play-offs?

ColonelBlimp Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Maybe he should grow it longer, use it like a wing in F1 and make him turn better? Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21414-johnnys-beard/#findComment-940298 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The extra wind resistance slows him down. It blocks out so much light that he can't see the ball at his feet, so his control has gone to pot. The weight stops him from being able to lift his head, so he can never pick out a teammate with a pass and the opposition players hide behind the thing and take him by surprise when tackling him. The beard must go! Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21414-johnnys-beard/#findComment-940318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilkleyram Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think Derek Hales came after Sir Brian and Dave Mackay. Colin Murphy I think without looking it up (cos I'm trying to forget those times) and losing the beard wouldn't have made him any better Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21414-johnnys-beard/#findComment-940331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't want him to shave it off. Every time I see the gnome sitting at the side of my neighbours pond with his little fishing rod I think of Johnny.

Guest Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't like beards. They remind me of pubic hair. It's like looking at someone's pubes. Ugh (though I've never seen a bush as luxuriant as Johnnie's) Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21414-johnnys-beard/#findComment-940365 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayles was a way after Cloughie. 1977 I think which was either mackay or possibly Addison? Eddie would know (as would archarm king Kevin and other venerable forum members ).

Signed at the end of 1976 by Colin Murphy and sold to West Ham by Docherty (probably the only sensible decision he made) in 1977. Played 30 times in all competitions and scored 7 goals.

r_wilcockson Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think there is a direct correlation between the length of Johnny's beard and his form. He was on fire at the start of the season, and now can no longer pass or shoot. Where is Yani P and his graphs......

Dimmu Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I remember that Passarella didn't want players with earrings or long hair to his team so Argentina had to go to World Cup -98 without Redondo, Almeyda and Caniggia. Enjoyed when they didn't have much success. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21414-johnnys-beard/#findComment-940970 Share on other sites More sharing options...
