Cyril the Swan

Cyril the Swan is a fictional giant swan who is the official mascot of Swansea City A.F.C. He was voted Best Mascot by readers of the BBC's Match of the Day magazine. Cyril has had his fair share of trouble with the police, mainly for fighting with other mascots and stewards. He has even been accused of bringing the game into disrepute. One of his most notorious antics was when he removed the head of Millwall mascot Zampa the Lion and drop-kicked it along the ground. Cyril was fined £1000 for the incident. Despite his troubled past, Cyril is a beloved figure among Swansea City fans. He has appeared in a British pantomime of Aladdin and even has his own wife, Cybil the Swan.
