‘Confusing’ Reading mascot sent off by Referee

By: Bob | April 30th, 2007

kingsley_the_lion_reading_fc_smaller2.jpgThe big story from Monday’s Reading and Newcastle tilt was supposed to be the return of Michael Owen. The striker did play the full 90 minutes in Newcastle’s 1-0 loss, but it was Reading’s mascot Kingsley who stole the headlines. The giant lion was tossed from the sidelines because he was confusing referee Mike Riley, who happens to also be easily confused when it comes to calling fouls. As you can see from his picture, Kingsley does bear a striking resemblance to Bobby Convey only he has better luck with the ladies. Tough luck for the lion who was just bouncing back into shape after being pounced upon earlier this year.


UPDATE: He is the video of the sending off.

    Wish You had footage of the incident last night, as that video is from earlier in the season.
