TIM SHERWOOD couldn’t contain his laughter at a bizarre moment during Sky Sports Soccer Saturday.
The former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager was keeping a watchful eye over Northampton Town vs Derby County when he was left laughing at The Cobblers’ mascot.
Sherwood interrupted host Julian Warren with his laughter as he watched the hilarious moment that Northampton’s mascot appeared to dive after being shoved by a Derby player.
The incident occurred when Derby won a corner and Rams star Nathaniel Mendez-Laing tried to retrieve the ball off Northampton mascot Clarence The Dragon.
The fan-favourite mascot playfully dropped the ball away from Mendez-Laing, leading the 31-year-old forward to lightly shove him.
Clarence The Dragon then decided to play up to the push and jokingly fell to the ground.

He said: “That is brilliant! Clarence The Dragon take a bow!”
Things worked out on the pitch for Northampton Town too as they wound up shock winners over Derby during the League One clash.
