Oscar the alpaca galloped onto the pitch from a nearby farm, interrupting a game between Carlton Athletic and Ilkley Town.
The club hopes to achieve promotion to semi-professional status this season after narrowly missing out on a step up last year.
With Oscar proving a lucky charm for the club, the chairman said they are now considering recruiting an alpaca as a mascot to spur the team on.Image:However, according to Carlton fan Gavin Shoesmith, the allegiances of Oscar himself lie elsewhere. "Oscar the alpaca is an avid Carlton fan and often is spotted engrossed in the games on a Saturday," said the 46-year-old, who was at the game.
"This week he'd had enough after a shocking first half by the referee and decided he was having none of it and vaulted the fence."
