MERV HUGHES – MOUSTACHE

Mervyn Gregory Hughes, or more commonly known as Merv and gained the nickname “Fruitfly” in the sports world, is an Aussie credited for his amazing cricket playing milestones. Funny enough, he didn’t start his love for sports with cricket but rather with football at Werribee during the 5th grade. It was during his historic win in the WACA Ground during 1988 where his international sporting career took flight. However, more than his cricket moves, Merv was also famous for his unique mustache, which became a trademark for the cricket star.

The athlete eventually had his facial hair insured for a “humble” cost of $775,000 during the height of his career. People often say that you can tell it’s Merv playing even from a distance thanks to his horseshoe-shaped mustache. It’s a good thing that he decided to shave it that way. He gives all the credit to his family members for accepting that style and his fans for embracing it.
