THERE IS no shortage of famous moustaches in football.

Ian Rush, David Seaman and Graeme Souness all sported one,

and now Hull City keeper Matt Duke and boss Phil Brown are

attempting to join the list.

The Tigers duo are backing a campaign to raise funds for

testicular cancer charity Everyman after keeper Duke beat the

disease earlier this year.

They will be growing taches during September – and

encouraging fans to do the same – to try to help the charity

raise £1m in sponsorship.

As well as raising money for a good cause, Duke believes his

new look will help to make him a style icon in the Premier

League.

He said: "If you're going to up against some of the best

players in the world, style becomes an important factor and

nothing says style like a good, strong 'tache.

"It would be great if Hull City fans followed suit and

decided to grow a sponsored moustache too.

"Everyman does amazing work to find treatments for prostate

and testicular cancer, diseases which affect about 37,000 men

every year in the UK."

Duke posed for pictures wearing a fake moustache, but

reckons he will have the genuine bushy article by the end of

September.

Brown said: "It's great to be able to support the research

of an organisation helping those like Matt Duke to get through

such a difficult ordeal."

"Everyman is doing a fantastic job of raising awareness of

male cancer.

"The TacheBack campaign is a fun way of getting involved,

which I hope others will take notice of and join in with."

Sarah Healy, of TacheBack, said she was grateful to have the

support of the pair.

"Hopefully they can help spread the word among Hull City and

football fans alike," she said.

"It would be great to see loads of 'tached men in the stands

behind Matt's goal this season."
