PIC: The Tipperary minor footballer with more facial hair than most men in Ireland

They grow up fast in Tipperary.

The curtain raiser at Croke Park today is the All-Ireland minor football semi final between Kildare and Tipperary. It's been a tight enough encounter so far with the sides going in level at half time.

A player that's caught our eye is young Tipp forward Aidan Buckley, he's a real baller and he also has the biggest beard we've seen on an 18-year-old in a long time.

It's glorious, he'd easily get a job in a hipster bar in Dublin.

Closer...

Closer...

There it is.

A serious effort. We're jealous.
