Whether you’re a grass roots Sunday player or you strut your stuff on the hallowed turf of the Premier League, Movember has caught the imagination of the sporting community. If you favour the oval over the round ball, you’re also in good company. Mo’s have been sighted on all walks of sportsmen, ranging from jockeys and darts players, to Olympic medal winners and martial arts professionals.  

Movember can motivate your sports club to have some fun and raise vital funds for men’s health.  Why not emulate your heroes from yesteryear and go retro for 2012?  Whether that’s dressing up as Cliff Thorburn at your snooker hall, Frank Worthington on your five-a-side pitch or Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor at the pub oche, bring Movember to your sport and help change the face of men’s health.

FOOTBALL
The beautiful game got on board the Mo train like never before during 2011. From the Premier League to Hackney Marshes the Mo was King, with fans and players alike raising vital funds and awareness for men’s health. Twenty professional clubs across the UK went large on their upper lips and raised £48,855 for Movember.

In addition, there was considerable grass roots activity, including furry five-a-side competitions and coverage across the media including Sky Sports where football experts Ray Wilkins and Gerry Armstrong grew moustaches for the first time since the 1980’s and the football quiz show ‘Take It Like a Fan’ ran a round of Mo related questions.

Among the more active were Stoke City who, like Birmingham City, ran half-time shave-downs, while QPR also raised considerable sums by inviting fans, players and staff to join their team.
