Cyril the Swan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyril the Swan is a fictional giant swan, the official mascot of Swansea City Association Football Club.
Cyril is well-known to British television audiences, and was voted Best Mascot by readers of the BBC's Match of the Day magazine. His antics have got him into trouble with the police on several occasions, and he has been accused of bringing the game into disrepute.
Highlights of his troublesome antics include removing the head of Millwall Mascot "Zampa The Lion", and drop-kicking it into the North Bank. On a Dutch TV documentary, when asked what he said to Zampa he replied "Don't fuck with the Swans".
Cyril appeared as the pet of the Emperor of China, in a British pantomime of Aladdin. As a mute swan, he does not give interviews.
