Supporters complained about Gilbert’s behaviour following Torquay’s 3-2 defeat against Grimsby Town last weekend. Steve Jegat, who wears the costume, accepts that there was a row with fans after one made a cheeky comment, but denies that he asked to fight them. However, scores of supporters have complained on Torquay’s official website, with most telling of a similar story.  The Torquay fans aren’t happy (Picture: Getty) ‘After Grimsby scored their third, Gilbert came over and said “where’s the drummer?”. We thought he was joking but then he called us “a bunch of c***s”.’ ‘After the game he came over and gave the “come on, then” body language towards us. We have the worst mascot in football.’ |
