Beaton, 60, became famous for his unmistakable style when he was in his hay day in the 2000s - sporting a sensational mullet and mustache.

While he was also well known for his bronzed skin, earning him his iconic nickname.

Although the icon has since denied that he ever got a perm or used a sunbed.

With Beaton now on the brink of his retirement, his colleagues and opponents all got together to celebrate his career by dressing up as him.
