Saturday football took me
back to Marske-by-the-Sea for the big FA Cup tie with Halesowen Town, and
football aside (see other blog for details) the highlight was the home team’s
new mascot, or should it be Marske-ot, in the form of a human bulldog dressed
in the home strip with a head more resembling a wild boar than Churchill the
insurance dog; he insinuated himself into the opening handshake ritual to the
bemusement of the officials and opponents and danced a joyous jig at the final
whistle before being mobbed by the players amid calls from some fans for RSPCA
intervention.
