VIDEO: What happens when you work as a mascot but just can’t say no to a few birthday pints

We can't say he's drunk but he sure hates staying upright

Let’s be fair here. You’re a mascot and it’s your birthday. How do you not have a few Jagerbombs before the big game?

Austria Vienna’s Super Leo faced just that dilemma at the weekend and we reckon he came away from the experience like a champion.

After appearing to have a shandy or two too many, the birthday boy felt well enough to do a spot of work so dutifully donned his lion costume and “walked” onto the pitch during his team’s 2-1 victory over Wiener Neustadt.

He then proceeded to do his best “drunk uncle leaving the resident’s bar after a wedding” impression in front of a crowd that was just trying to enjoy a cheeky bit of Bruno Mars.

We doubt anyone noticed though. He can surely blame it all on the slippery surface and show up next week like nothing happened.
