Mascots

**writerbk1969** · 31/05/2011, 11:54 AM

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.

Harps have Harper the Dog.
Galway have Terry the Tiger.
Derry have Mucker the Welfare Recipient.

Ah great stuff. There's a method to my madness in this trust me.

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.

Sligo Rovers - Benny The Bull. (If you need a pic..)

Being better than Limerick, is not grounds for arrogance

Was at the Limerick game last night but no Leo (though he is on the website advertising stuff) what the hell did he do to get banned? Wind up the crowd? Fight with Fingals fox?
