The Beard Liberation Front the informal network of beard wearers has said that the poll for Beard of Autumn 2020 has concluded with author Michael Rosen shaving the newly elected Mayor of Haringey Adam Jogee for the honour. Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo was third.
Michael Rosen took a 42% share of the vote compared to Adam Jogee’s 28%
It is the last of the four seasonal awards that conclude with the Beard of the Year in December 2020.
As usual there was a wide ranging field of beard wearers who have made a positive impact in the public eye recently.
Michael Rosen has already won the Beard of Summer 2020 and the Beard of Lockdown Awards in on-line polls. His victory in the Beard of Autumn poll brings him a record third award
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Award confirms that Michael Rosen’s beard is in fine form. After his dreadful experience with COVID-19 and the impact of Long-COVID we hope the rest of him will follow before too long.
