Doncaster Rovers sack mascot Donny Dog for posing in her underwear
Tracy Chandler says the pictures were 'tastefully done'
Doncaster Rovers have sacked the woman who plays mascot Donny Dog after she posed in her underwear for a Sunday newspaper.
Tracy Chandler, who appeared in the photographs posing alongside Donny Dog's head, said she has been sent an email by the Championship side telling her she has "disgraced the club".
Ms Chandler, who has volunteered in the role for three years, admits she did not tell the club what she was doing but stressed it was "tastefully done". She also said the pictures had raised money for the NSPCC – the same charity for whichDoncaster's players produced a naked calender last year.
Ms Chandler told BBC Five Live: "I'm absolutely devastated. I've not stopped crying all morning. It just said that they didn't need my services any more and that I'd disgraced the club."
She told the station she was "disgusted" by what has happened to her.
"I've raised a lot of money for charity. I've fetched Donny Dog out of hiding. I'm the one who pushed him into charity work."
A spokesman for Doncaster Rovers said the club would not be commenting.
