AARON YOUNG has one hot beard, at least according to a parody countdown by local Adelaide band The Beards.
The Power midfielder was ranked No. 70 in the band's #Hottest100Beards countdown on Twitter on Australia Day, which ran as an amusing alternative to the annual music countdown on Triple J radio.

Young was chuffed with the recognition.

He was quick to receive praise, at least from teammate Alipate Carlile.
@AaronYoung40 @The_Beards @PAFC some nice growth by you

But eat your heart out Justin Westhoff - the Power faithful's favourite beard missed the cut.
@RickittyRekd @AaronYoung40 @PAFC @PAFCMTAS Sorry we couldn't squeeze The Hoff in there. Maybe next year...

Young joined esteem company in the countdown, surrounded by famous beard-folk like Charles Darwin, Leonardo DiCaprio and Chewbacca to name a few.
