The St Albans City mascot was "stripped of his duties" prior to the club's FA Cup first round clash last weekend.
On Saturday, hundreds of fans travelled to Burton Albion alongside mascot Sammy the Saint who may have had too much to drink before kick off.
Footage emerged showing Sammy stumbling over the advertising hoardings and punching the air while struggling to keep his balance.
Fans behind the goal can be heard chanting "Sammy is a Saint ole, ole" during the video which has gained thousands of views across social media.
Sammy was then escorted away from the Pirelli Stadium before the game had even started. With security guards either side of him, the mascot continued waving his hands in the air for the travelling supporters on his way off.
A spokesperson for Burton Albion later told the BBC: "He was just stripped of his mascot duties and wasn't allowed to wear the Sammy costume.
"He was allowed to remain in the stands to watch the game."
The club described his behaviour as "erratic and unprofessional."
St Albans' fortunes in the first-round FA Cup clash were no better than their mascot's as the Saints slumped to a 6-0 loss at League One Burton.
Despite being just one goal behind at the break, St Albans City shipped five in the second half in a convincing victory for The Brewers.
