Burnley headmaster
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.

Re: Burnley headmaster
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.Guitargeorge wrote: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?

Re: Burnley headmaster
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 !

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