Ronnie The Rhino

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronnie The Rhinos is the Leeds Rhinos mascot he gets the crowd going prematch at half time he normally gets children involved by playing some sort of game. The current "Ronnie the Rhino" is Steve Beck.

[edit] Controversy

Beck often drives to perform Ronnie already in the "Ronnie Suit", however this has caused controversy due to the high number of near-misses he has on the road. Beck said that although his vision is seriously impaired by the suit, he feels it is an acceptable risk as he does not want the children to stop believing in the magic of Ronnie which he feels would happen if he turned up and they saw him get into the suit.
