QUACK-POT Deepdale Duck was in his element when arch-rivals Blackpool FC took on North End.

While the score didn't go Preston's way, the little quacker gave fans something to snile about when he took time out to annoy and distract the Seasider's Jason Jarrett and colleagues by mimmicking their warm-up exercises, pictured.

And who knows, his ruse may have worked because Jarrett was left on the subs bench for the duration of the match.

The effort may have been too much though - the Duck appeared at the Walsall match on crutches.
