The best mascots in the world of football From Pinocchio of Euro 80 to the legend of Gunnersaurus

The strangest effects of the lockdown, the pandemic and a football completely different from what we are used to living can be the most different. The world of the Premier League has been in shock for just over 24 hours, after the news of the forced dismissal of Gunnersaurus, the historic Arsenal mascot who leaves the Emirates Stadium and the club after 27 years of honorable service. The symbol of the London club created by fan Peter Lovell had its debut on August 20, 1993 in Highbury during the match against City, and has never looked back since. The closure of the stadiums forced the Gunners' management to make a choice as difficult as it was obligatory, but Mesut Özil's intervention upset all plans: "I was very sad when I heard the news. For this reason I offered to pay the entire salary of our mascot as long as I am a player of this club."

While in Italy Romolo (the wolf of Roma), Jay (the zebra of Juventus), Diavoletto (the devil of Milan) reign, the Gunnersaurus-gate has awakened the desire for mascot.
