(10) Mike Ditka poses with three Bears icons: Papa Bear Halas, the punky QB known as McMahon and Da Coach's iconic mustache.
(9) Iron Mike is carried off the field not only for leading the Bears to the Super Bowl XX championship but for possessing the world's most grandiose mustache.
(8) Seeing himself in a monitor during an appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson, Da Coach joins the rest of humankind by admiring his spectacular mustache.
(4) Iron Mike wore a tie early in his Bears coaching career because "I thought it might calm me down." Sure it wasn't because it perfectly matched his dark and debonair mustache?

(5) A contemplative Mike Ditka surveys the field with his thick mustache in all of its 1980s glory.
(4) Is that Tom Selleck? No, it's Da Coach relaxing on a golf cart, presumably at a charity outing on the links that he no doubt dominated.
(3) The only thing that screams "1980s" more than a pair of short NFL coaching shorts is a mustache that's as lush as an Amazon rain forest.
