This guy shares a name with a rock star and he looks like one too

Meet Huddersfield’s Adam Clayton and his blue beard.

MEET HUDDERSFIELD TOWN’S Adam Clayton.

Not only does the player share a name with a U2 member, he also sports a blue and white beard to match his club’s colours, which he showed off during their game with Leicester today.

Shockingly though, Clayton’s impressive beard doesn’t seem to be inspiring his teammates — they’re currently trailing their opponents 1-0.
