Club mascots are an essential part of any Premier League fan's matchday experience.

They can be seen parading the touchline at clubs up and down the country, playing their part in entertaining and lifting the crowd's spirits.

But it is very rare you come across a supporter who can name every single mascot in English football's top division.

Below is a reminder of each and every mascot in the Premier League, so you need never forget again. 

Arsenal: Gunnersaurus Rex

Arguably the most famous mascot in the Premier League, Gunnersaurus came to life in 1993 after a young Arsenal fan named Peter Lovell dreamed up the idea and submitted it as part of a competition.

Since winning, Lovell's famous dinosaur has been present at both Highbury and the Emirates Stadium for almost every home game for the Gunners.

Aston Villa: Hercules and Bella the Lions

Aston Villa employ a dynamic duo to raise the energy levels at Villa Park on a matchday. 

Hercules and Bella are famous around Birmingham for posing with opposition managers and have a healthy gallery full of famous faces for their collection.

In the past, they have managed to secure quick snaps with the likes of Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp and Louis van Gaal. 

Bournemouth: Cherry Bear

Cherry Bear has been a staple figure at the Vitality Stadium since 2006 and has been a part of Bournemouth's rise through the football pyramid.

The loved mascot has helped the fans find their voice whether it was in League Two or the Premier League and he is always willing to stop for a high five or quick snap with Cherries' fans.

Brentford: Buzz Bee

Buzzing his way around the Brentford Community Stadium on a matchday, the Bees' mascot is known within the community for his charitable visits and workshops at schools in the local area.

In 2015, at half-time during a game against Birmingham, Buzz removed the costume and got down on one knee as he proposed to his girlfriend, inciting thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.

Brighton: Gully the Seagull

Perhaps the easiest choice of mascot sees Brighton adopt a seagull. 

Gully can often be seen wandering around the Amex Stadium with Sammy and Sally, two fellow gulls who also play their part in entertaining the crowd on the South Coast. 

Burnley: Bertie Bee

Turf Moor has played host to Bertie over the last two decades — and the busy bee has made himself at home at Burnley.

Bertie is another mascot known for his wild side and often challenges others to races and competitions.

Chelsea: Stamford and Bridget

Making their debut in 2013, Stamford and Bridget are named after the stadium they represent. 

The famous lions have brought the historic Chelsea logo to life and attend every home matchday as a dynamic pairing.

Stamford was a lone mascot at the Bridge before he met Bridget in 2013. 

Crystal Palace: Pete the Eagle

Usually seen soaking up the attention of the crowd, Pete the Eagle strolls pitch side at Selhurst Park during Crystal Palace’s home games.

He was often overshadowed by the routine flying of real-life eagle Kayla from one side of the stadium to the other. 

But since Kayla sadly passed away in 2020, Pete has relied on the company of Alice, his female counterpart. 

Everton: N/A

Everton have yet to incorporate a new mascot into their matchday experience since Chang the Elephant was released at the same time the Toffees cut ties with their former shirt sponsors.

They are the odd ones out in the Premier League with no official mascot. 

But in 2020, the Merseysiders chose a weekly mascot as they celebrated community heroes.

Fulham: Billy the Badger

An online competition winner inspired Billy the Badger's look the mascot has a reputation for being a bit of a troublemaker at Craven Cottage.

Billy has caused controversy by trying to cheer up former Chelsea manager Avram Grant on camera and was famously sent off in a match against Aston Villa in 2008 for break-dancing in the corner of the pitch.

Liverpool: Mighty Red

Liverpool were without a mascot until 2012, when they introduced Mighty Red the Liver Bird. 

Following the takeover by the Fenway Sports Group, Red was created to represent the club’s commitment to working with children and local communities.

The character has since become a popular figure at Anfield and is often seen hyping up the Kop before a match. 

Luton: Happy Harry and Hatty

Luton mascot Happy Harry is a smiling man wearing a straw boater in reference to the club's nickname the Hatters.

He is another character famous for his cheeky reputation and can often be seen taunting the away fans and making fun of individuals in the crowd.

Harry is often joined by his female counterpart Hatty, who was introduced to the Kenilworth Road crowd back in 2016 to form a formidable duo for the Premier League club.

Manchester City: Moonchester and Moonbeam

Manchester United: Fred the Red

Nottingham's favourite outlaw Robin Hood represents the club on matchdays and is set to entertain fans in the Premier League once again in 2023-24.

The world-famous character was the Tricky Trees' mascot from 2007-2015 before being given a three-year break but the legend of folklore returned on a permanent basis in 2018.

Sheffield United: Captain Blade

Sheffield United have returned to the top flight and will be relying on Captain Blade to raise a raucous atmosphere at Bramall Lane next season.

The swashbuckling pirate wields two cutlass blades to represent the club's crest and is able to keep tabs on the game despite only having one eye.

Tottenham: Chirpy the Cockerel

Representing the bird on the Tottenham badge, Chirpy even travelled to the North London club's temporary home at Wembley.

He has often been seen around the old White Hart Lane and new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium leading an army of small mascots to their duties.

West Ham: Hammerhead

Dressed like a superhero and with the features of a robot, Hammerhead is described as a ‘cult hero’ on West Ham's official website.

This is due to his confidence in challenging opposition mascots to races at half-time and for having a large following on social media. 

Wolves: Wolfie and Wendy Wolf

Wolves' mascots come as a package in the form of Wolfie and Wendy — and they even have a joint Twitter account.

As you would expect, the duo spread cheers and howls around Molineux.
