And interestingly, they’ve got a surprisingly good record of coming up with the right score.
Remember World Cup Woolly?
He was the Blackhall sheep who forecast England’s downfall at the 2014 World Cup.
Woolly was given the choice of three bottles of milk to drink for each game – for England to either win, lose or draw.

Hide AdWoolly hesitated a little, but went for England to come unstuck against both Italy and Uruguay.
The spring lamb, another popular attraction with visitors at Tweddle Children’s Animal Farm, had no hesitation in predicting Pools glory.
Then there was Big Bob the Psychic Pig who was a popular attraction at Down at the Farm fun farm, near Houghton-le-Spring.

Hide AdBig Bob was a pig with a prediction record which was hard to scoff at.
He prophesied four out of six outcomes correctly for England’s World Cup matches in 2018 including victories over Tunisia, Panama and Sweden plus their first Belgium defeat.
His hesitation before the Colombia last-16 tie was seen as a sign that the match would eventually go to penalties.
So don’t rule out a correct Kenny prediction. He might just have ferreted out the correct England score.
