Arsenal have let go their chief mascot Gunnersaurus after 27 years.

Jerry Quy, the man inside the costume since its birth in 1993, has been axed by the club as part of cost cutting measures.

Having already made 55 non-playing staff redundant in August, the Gunners have now told their iconic mascot to pack his bags as part of their streamlining measures.

With football fans still banned from stadiums, clubs across the world have been counting the cost.

And with no supporters to entertain, Arsenal have deemed Gunnersaurus' job surplus to requirements, reports The Sun.
