    hi,
    just wondering,
    have you seen any professional players with facial hair?
    goatee, beard, moustache, long sideburns etc
    any athlete, for that matter, its quite rare...
    anyone know why?

    Rashid + Misbun sidek has a moustache at one time I think. (Former MAS MS player-now coaches)

    Rasmus-Magnor has a beard (current MD/XD player for denmark)

    Aamir Ghaffar has a beard (current ENG MS player)

    Abin Shyam Gupta had a moustache (Former IND MS player)

    Anders Boessen used to sport some stubble (Former DEN MS player)

    I think any facial hair is quite rare in sports, mainly becasue it will interfere with sweating and irritate. Overall Facial hair is less popular overall than in the past.
