From dinosaurs to eagles, the Premier League has a long list of mascots who are popular amongst the fans.

Fans buy tickets to the stadium to watch a fierce match of 90 minutes between two teams. However, the pre-match time is a boring period for anyone. That’s when a mascot comes into the scenario. The job of a mascot is to keep the level of excitement high. They not only cheer for the team from the sidelines but also spend time with fans up the stairs. Further, mascots are as important as the players and the club. They are considered a part of the club’s history since they spend years with a club. For example, the official mascot of club Arsenal is Gunnersaurus, who has been associated with the club for the past 27 years. Under the rex costume is a guy named Jerry Quy who is loved by all, especially by children.
