An investigation has been launched after Charlie Gallico, better known as South Sydney mascot Reggie the Rabbit, was accused of punching a nine-year-old in the face during the Rabbitohs’ loss at Sharks Stadium on Saturday.
Gallico, 80, who has worn the Reggie suit for more than two decades, is loved by Bunnies fans for his antics including hopping around the sidelines, embracing players at fulltime, and posing for photographs. As the rugby league world awaits the outcome of the investigation, we look back at ten other sporting mascots who crossed the line.
Tah Man might be the hero NSW neither deserves nor needs. In a scene straight out of Amazon’s The Boys, the Waratahs’ barrel-chested Batman lookalike reportedly broke a six-year-old fan’s leg at a holiday rugby camp in 2015 while playfully wrestling a group of youngsters. Future Australian prime minister Scott Morrison must have been taking notes that day.
