1:B - Fred is pictured at Leigh Sports Village cheering on the women's team., 2:A - It's Bella the lion, who also made headlines in 2019 by walking out on to the pitch arm-in-arm with Villa striker Wesley., 3:C - 'Captain Blade' certainly looks the part, but a pirate is perhaps a surprising choice for a team based some distance from the sea., 4:C - We can confirm that the City mascot, Moonchester, won the race., 5:A - Mighty Red is a Liver Bird, the animal symbol of the city of Liverpool; maybe it's more obvious from another angle., 6:B - Crusty the Pie is a tribute to the Lancashire town's pastry-making traditions., 7:B - This is Peter Burrow, who can be found lurking in the concourses at London Road., 8:A - Chirpy the Cockerel is one of the few happy faces at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season., 9:D - Ron Millar started out as a penguin, before switching to the animal on the club's badge. 'I used to get injured players coming up to me asking to wear the suit,' he told the Shropshire Star. 'Sometimes the supporters had no idea there was a player inside!', 10:A - Floyd is part of an unlikely duo with a cat mascot, Harvey, at the Valley., 11:C - The memorable moment came against Preston, as Bertie sent the naked pitch invader spinning over his shoulder – and celebrated by doing the worm., 12:B - Mary Saint, one of a number of canine mascots for the club, takes her name from the stadium, St Mary's., 13:D - Hodgson called Harry the Hornet 'disgraceful' for implying that Wilf Zaha had dived during a game – which made things awkward when he became the Watford manager in 2022., 14:D - Boilerman has appeared at the Hawthorns as part of the club's ongoing sponsorship deal with Ideal Boilers, but took an unexplained hiatus near the end of last season., 15:C - The German playmaker stepped in after the man inside the suit, Jerry Quy, was laid off in 2020, and vowed to keep Gunnersaurus in a job 'as long as I'm an Arsenal player'. Özil left a year later – but the mascot is still in place.
