Admit it, everyone loves a mascot!
From just walking around the stadium, posing for photos, doing charity work or silly antics, they add to the fans' experience around the football club.
In the football league there have been some seriously weird and wonderful mascots that have taken to the pitch in order to support their team over the years.
Whether it's the club's heritage or just using the club's nickname, we love mascots and feel like they should be championed.
In this article we take you through some of the best and worst mascots of all time.
Southend United - Sammy The Shrimp
Nicknamed The Shrimpers, it's obvious to see why Southend United's mascot is a shrimp that goes by the name of Sammy.
But what isn't so apparent is the thinking behind this depiction of a shrimp. You really wouldn't want to see this mascot without it's kit on, more mole rat than shrimp!
Burton Albion - Billy the Brewer
If the primary role of a mascot is supposed to be represent the club as a whole, then surely Burton Albion fans can't be pleased with Billy the Brewer as theirs.
At first we thought that Billy was a monkey, but no he's not, which makes this effort ten times worse.
Yeovil Town - Jolly Green Giant
There's not much you can say about Jolly Green Giant, other than he is a giant, he's green and he scares me.
Yeovil Town fans will of course argue he is just a friendly mascot, but he looks rather sinister if you ask me.
The fact he walks around with a child also in green is just weird too.
Grimsby Town - The Mighty Mariner
To be fair to Grimsby, their nickname is the Mariners and they have a Mariner as their official mascot.
It's just his disproportionate nose that is just all wrong, but before the Mighty Mariner, the club had Harry Haddock, a rainbow trout.
Cardiff City - Bartley Blue And Zoe
Luckily for Cardiff City fans, they no longer have to endure seeing super heroes Bartley Blue and Zoe Lou as their official mascots.
They brought in thanks to Vincent Tan, but luckily the club have decided to rightly have a Bluebird as their mascot named Bartley.
Southend United (Again)
As well as unveiling Sammy Shrimp, Southend also brought in the support of this guy.
If you didn't know it was their mascot and knew it would be 'sea related', would you guess at an eel?
Probably not, but that's what they went for, meet Elvis J Eel... the name makes it worse.
Fleetwood Town - Captain Cod
Captain Cod has been Fleetwood's mascot for many years and even has his own Twitter account.
The club are currently looking for a new Captain Cod for the 2018 season, so if you fancy joining Joey Barton on the sidelines cheering on the Cod Army, apply now!
Burton Albion (again)
As if Billy the Brewer wasn't enough, meet Bettie.
Bettie made national news after she was attacked by a teenager during a home game in 2010 against local rivals Port Vale. She sustained a minor head injury and the 15-year-old was arrested at half-time from the Pirelli Stadium.
Swansea City - Cyril
It makes sense that Swansea's mascot is a Swan, but what is hard to believe is the behaviour of it.
Known as Cyril, the mascot has been in a number of altercations with referees and other mascots. In 2001, he ripped the head of Zampa the Lion (Millwall) and drop kicked it into the crowd.
Before that he was caught throwing pork pies onto the pitch, tussling with the Norwich City coach and attacking a rival mascot in the Mascot Grand National.
Naughty swan!
Arsenal - Gunnersaurus
One of the biggest mascots in English football, Gunnersaurus has been Arsenal's mascot since 1994 after a kid's drawing competition.
The eight-foot dinosaur is great but the connection, other than who designed it, what is the relation between the Gunners and dinosaurs?
Bradford City- The City Gent
The City Gent character, portrayed by Lenny Berry was first introduced to the Bradford City fans in the 1960s, with Berry regularly at league games for 20 years.
Wearing a bowler hat and carrying an umbrella and brief case, Berry gave up his role in 2013 when the club asked him to wear a sumo-suit after he lost seven stone.
Such a weird concept.
Stoke City- Pottermus And Pottermiss
Great word play with the names of these two Hippos, but is that the only connection the club has to the mammal?
To be fair they are deceptively aggressive.
Plymouth Argyle - Peter The Pilgrim
Unlike Gunnersaurus, the link between Peter the Pilgrim and Plymouth Argyle is very clear.
However, we need talk about that moustache, it's too straight! If it fell off and you stuck a stick on it, it would be a broom!
Blackburn Rovers - ??
This unnamed rabbit debuted in 2003 and likely scared the living daylights out of anyone under the age of 12.
With a slight resemblance to Donnie Darko, the rabbit was quickly let go, probably because they couldn't find a shirt big enough for him.
Manchester City - Moonbeam and Moonchester
These guys have confused me for many a year, I get that City fans' anthem is 'Blue Moon' but do they really need intergallactic giants as their mascots?
You'd have thought with all the money now in the club, they could come up with a better mascot duo than Moonbeam and Moonchester.
West Ham - Hammerhead
Revealed in 2011, alongside Bubbles the Bear, Hammerhead is a semi-robotic character that was apparently born 100 years ago when West Ham formed at the Thames Iron Works. The story is that a bolt of lightning struck the Iron Works and Hammerhead was born.
Peterborough United - Mr. Posh
Another club that have chosen to just have a well-dressed man as their mascot over a man in a funny suit.
Mr. Posh, aka Mick Jones has done the job for over 25 years and was inducted to the club's Hall of Fame in 2016.
Bristol Rovers - Captain Gas
Nicknamed the Pirates or the Gas, it makes sense that Bristol Rovers' mascot is a pirate, named Captain Gas.
Once again I have an issue with the moustache on this mascot, as it makes him look like a Bond villain, especially with that eye patch and sinister eye.
Bury- Robbie The Bobby
Everything about this mascot would scare me as a child, what were Bury thinking when they introduced this guy?
Amateur boxer Jonathan Pollard was the man behind the costume for many years, but in 2001 he was sent-off three times!
He mooned Stoke supporters, fought with the Peterborough mascot and also had to be restrained by stewards during a brawl with Cardiff City’s Bartley Bluebird.
Rochdale - Desmond The Dragon
Thankfully Rochdale have in recent seasons rebranded their Desmond the Dragon, who for many years looked more like a Donkey!
Partick Thistle - Kingsley
Kingsley went viral when he was revealed as Partick Thistle's new mascot in 2015.
There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to this mascot, what is he, but more importantly, what were the directors thinking?
Liverpool - Mighty Red
Liverpool's Mighty Red makes our list of weird and wonderful mascots, purely because I've never seen him before.
I'm not a Liverpool fan and I am unaware of his influence at Anfield, but this guy needs to raise his profile. Great Mascot.
West Brom - Boiler Man
Here he is!
After West Brom announced a deal with Ideal Boilers at the start of the 2018-19 season, many believed the partnership would be limited to sponsoring the new kit.
But no, in Albion's first home game of the season, fans at the ground and on Twitter were shocked by the arrival of 'Boiler Man'.
It's horrendously brilliant!
