Beards

Is it possible to combine long-term success as a football manager with a beard ? The Roy Keane experience suggests the growth was a cry for help; as an Everton fan, I'd argue that Rafa is as consistent about facial hair as he is about team selection. Anyone else remember top-flight bearded managers ?

PS For me, Prince Michael of Kent went down the royal league table of esteem when that beard - strangely Keane-like - started to flourish.
