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.

Stars such as Chris Dobey and Nathan Aspinall all donned a curly wig, shiny white shirts and faux mustaches to give their best Beaton impression.

While they also presented Beaton with custom “Bronzed Adonis” shirt signed by each of them.

Dobey shared a snap of them all posing together to his social media, alongside the caption: “What else could we do to celebrate the career of a legend?”

Fans absolutely loved the tribute and reacted themselves online.
