Crusty The Pie: Football fans scoff as English team unveils bizarre new mascot

Wigan chiefs offered young fans the opportunity to come up with ideas to design a new mascot ahead of their upcoming season in the English Championship and in scenes reminiscent of the public vote which led to a poll decreeing that an English research ship was to be called 'Boaty McBoatface', the vote was hijacked by swathes of pie-loving fans - and Crusty The Pie was born.
