He became the club's mascot at the start of the 1999/2000 season, and was soon after given the name 'Roary' through a competition run in the matchday programme.

Roary The Tiger hit the headlines in November 1999 when he was sent off during an FA Cup 1st Round match at Hayes for causing trouble on the touchline.

In October 2000, Hull City had to find a new 'Roary' when Exeter City swooped for a custodian of their Alexander The Greek costume.

He's been ever-present at home games and many away games and is always up for a laugh before the match and at half-time.
