Arsenal are nicknamed the Gunners and the ‘saurus’ part was added to the name so that the club could have a dinosaur like mascot. The mascot was originally designed by Arsenal fan Peter Lovell in 1994 and Gunnersaurus made his footballing debut on 20th August 1994 against Manchester City,

The goofy green dino is often seen joining the team for warm-ups, psyching out opponents and celebrating victories. He was also present at Arsenal’s open top bus parade after their FA Cup win. Gunnersaurus makes regular visits to children’s hospitals and is also available for weddings.
