Mayor Ken Livingstone gets cosy with West Ham mascot Herbie
HERBIE the Hammer made a new friend during an Olympic penalty shoot-out.
The West Ham United mascot joined mascots from all London's big teams and Mayor Ken Livingstone for the kickabout outside City Hall in support of Stratford's bid for the 2012 games.
The bid has received support from all the London clubs, with Premiership Champions Chelsea and FA Cup holders Arsenal helping to demonstrate the capital's sporting excellence on the international stage.
Jude the Cat won the shoot-out after a double round knockout ended in victory for the Queen's Park Rangers mascot.
