Description
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey delves into the weird and wonderful world of football mascots and is joined by the foremost authorities on the subject - the man who literally wrote the book on mascots, Nick Miller, and a woman who has actually designed a real life mascot herself, Katie Whyatt.
We look at problematic shrimps, diving hornets, the cult of Boiler Man, mascot marriages, the mascot Grand National, and many more aspects of this most absurd corner of the footballing world.
There's also the hilarious and heart-warming story of Kio, the anti-racism mascot with a globe for a head, that Katie designed when she was 11-years-old
