Chirpy Cokerel with youn Spurs’ fans

The Spurs mascot is the Chirpy Cockerel. The traditional emblem of Spurs, the Peacock was chosen because the founder Harry Hotspur used to have fighting cocks. The cockerels were first made a part of the club emblem in 1901 and the Spurs emblem has been modified several times to include a leaner and stronger looking cockerel with the most recent update made in 2006.

Chirpy joins the team on pre-season tours and has also featured in the mail online Mascot Derby, which involves a number of mascots taking part in a series of athletic obstacles. Chirpy was also recently challenged by Arsenal’s mascot for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
