THE local jokers who challenged TV soccer pundit Mark Lawrenson to shave off his trademark moustache if Bolton Wanderers remained in the Premiership should have asked for more money.

Underneath that hirsute walrus look there turned out to be good-looking bloke.

He actually suits being clean-shaven, and he must share that opinion because originally he shaved it off in time to re-grow it for the World Cup.

Under the circumstances, surely the new image is worth a few more quid for Bolton Hospice, Mark?
