Burnley headmaster

[Guitargeorge]

In the days when club mascots didn’t sport oversized shoes and huge animal heads, who remembers the Burnley headmaster complete with claret and blue gown, mortar board and flourishing a cane? This was in the days of the Everton toffee lady who threw Everton mints to the crowd, and the guy from Arsenal in the red frock coat and white trousers.

I remember him well handing out the sweets as he walked round. The Everton toffee lady is still there although I don't think it will be the same woman who did it in the 1960s.

Unless she's called Bernadette Button.

Or called Doreen Gray and has a painting in the attic

I remember the Burnley mascot as well,
If my memory is correct the Arsenal mascot carried a placard
saying ,We arsenal supporters say May the best team win.
Don’t think they would do this today !

What was the bloke called at Bradford with the bowler hat and pie? City gent or something like that? Is he still going?

[DCWat]

Not sure he is, but could be wrong. He was certainly pretty ill the last time I heard.

Bumped off for not being portly enough... At least according to him.
