    Mascots

    Some of the funniest stories I've heard on my travels have involved mascots. Some seem happy to pose for the kids, some are brilliant at winding up fans. I know the following have mascots and was just trying to get a list for the book (maybe even one big giant picture!)

    Bray - Rocky I think he's called
    Bohs - Dennis The Menace
    Limerick - Leo The Lion
    St Pats - Paddy The Panther
    Rovers - Hooperman
    UCD - Collee
    Cork -Corky The Cheetah

    I'm sure there is more - Sporting Fingal used to have a Fox, and for some reason we had Homer Simpson down here in Waterford for a while.

    Kildare had a horse mascot for a while. Don't Galway have one as well. Benny the Bull is in Sligo.

              I think it was Stevie Capall.
              A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.

                  In fairness, having him and Waterford United's "Gary the Lame Gazelle" at the same game was always likely to end badly.

                  Lessons were learned.

                    It was actually more his zany antics with Martin Cambridge, Packie Holden, Freddie the Fingal fox, a hundred shels fans........

                    The gazelle thing was in his nature, you can't blame a lion for eating a gazelle anymore than you can blame Roddy Collins for being classless, a Cork fan for being groundlessly arrogant or a Galway team for losing.

                          Being better than Limerick, is not grounds for arrogance
