Its chilly outside today and I don't think that Tracy Chandler, a hairdresser by day, will be venturing out onto the Doncaster Rovers pitch in just her underwear. As the person usually inside the Donny Dog costume, she "got her Donny Dog kit off" in June 2011, as she appeared alongside the club mascot "Donny Dog" suit, in a saucy photo shoot for charity, which appeared in the "Sunday Sport" newspaper. Tracy is 40 years old and a mother of three who voluntarily raises money for NSPCC through her mascot costume, a voluntary act she had done for four years.The club sacked her by email for "disgracing the club" and she descended into a flood of tears.
For her defense she said that there was a "naked players' calendar in the club gift shop, raising money for charity, and getting worldwide coverage". Mind you there were strategically placed balls. She was not going to take the Doncaster FC decision "lying down".
Her point was made and the club officials relented, giving her job back!
In the club's defense, a spokesman, Chairman John Ryan, said that "Donny the Dog is very popular with local children and the club didn't like to promote the association between Donny football and the saucy model."
If she chucked away that ridiculous costume and became the official mascot instead, I bet the crowd numbers would increase.
Other mascots.......
