"Teddy" - Mascot of 2nd KRRC in 1911
Does anybody know anything about "Teddy", the Mascot of 2nd KRRC in 1911?
Well enough known to have had his own cigarette card, but a quick google produced nothing. Here is one of the cards for sale on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WILLS-SCIS...-/400460845552

Poor old "Teddy" seems to have passed into obscurity.
Unlike the "Star" mascot "Winnipeg" or "Winnie", left at London Zoo by the Canadians in WW1, who inspired "Winnie-the-Pooh": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_the_Bear
