I thought the story I read about Philippe Albert tribute moustaches being grown by the side was a joke, judging by Barton and Smith tonight it isn't.

No, that was before Steinbrenner's "no facial hair" policy, which was born out of his autocratic, right wing tendencies (and is still in place, btw).
Finley, as always, was just trying to get some publicity. Given that it was the 70s, a few of his better players had grown moustaches on their own, and then Charlie decided that an entire moustachioed team would create "buzz". So he started offering guys money to grow moustaches (just as he offered Vida Blue money to change his middle name to "True" (Vida didn't do it)).
