rockin' robin (song)
previous mascot rockin' robin was also famous for having a wife called tina turfit (plus a son, robinson). a trouble-maker from the moment he was hatched, this rampant robin has left damage and destruction wherever he's gone. the welsh wildman has set off a fire extinguisher before a game, ridden onto the pitch on a bike and tried to run over a linesman (for which he was sent off by the club's managing director) and dug huge divots from the ground with a pitchfork. among his other acts of skulduggery are poking fun at the linesmen – he waves his own flag when the ball goes out of play – and running onto the pitch waving a pole (another early bath offence). this seen him regularly getting him into trouble with then manager brian flynn. rockin robin was also sent off by the referee in the wrexham vs. wycombe wanderers game. rockin' robin returned for the 150th anniversary match vs grimsby town on 11 october.
