Does filbert earn more than birch? 

Does anyone remember when swansea cyril the swan kept getting punchy?

Suit!!!! He's real fox!

My mate sold him some gear

Not as good as that boiler unit West Brom have as a mascot.

Can remember him and the Watford Hornet nearly going at it just before the game we needed to win to make the play offs (Izzet header) 

 

Hornet was making his way over to the Leicester to give it the big un and Filbert was having none of it, started off all very jovial until our Filbert started shoving him back into his own half 😂😂

Doubt The Birch earns anything now, other than freedom of the club.

He's probably got a nice, tidy pension with his playing spell at the club, and doing numerous charitable activities for the club to create a very strong bond with the Leicester community.

 

Suspect that the Filbert Fox personator is just above the minimum wage area.

Has anyone seen Filbert Fox and Matty James in the same room over the past few years?

For those that subscribe to The Athletic, there was a good story on the Sunderland mascot: https://theathletic.com/1199381/2019/09/11/i-was-in-a-box-at-the-stadium-on-a-saturday-meeting-nike-about-the-next-seasons-kit-designs-and-it-got-to-130-and-i-said-sorry-ive-got-to-go-and-be-the-cat/

 

Without wanting to bet banned for copyright, a little snippet:

 

So I had to chip in with my Filbert the Fox/Samson story back from 1999...

 

 

So Happy Birthday Filbert - you chicken! But I don't think any less of you... I don't think I'd have wanted to take on 45,000 Mackems that night either!

I would imagine with the ad hoc nature of that work, with the odd midweek media assignment every now and thrn and the only regular work being pretty much every other Saturday for nine months a year, it's probably a freelance self employed entertainer.

What happened to Vicki Vixen?

She is Chris Sutton's bit on the side and attends Celtic games.
