It’s been a while since Pies paid tribute to a brilliantly naff mascot from the non-leagues, so we thought we’d revive the series with an absolute boomer.
Introducing the erstwhile symbol of Runcorn Linnets FC, Ron Corn – otherwise known colloquially as ‘Corny McCornface’…

Look at his little face. Outstanding, no?
In fact, Corny might actually give the Tonbridge Angel a run for his/her money in the ‘cobbled together from four metres of wire and an old duvet cover’ stakes.
Ron actually made a big announcement recently…
Happy to announce I will be staying as mascot for @RuncornLinnets for next season and beyond despite rumours of intrest from @QuornAFC 💛💚💛
