Alpaca named Oscar invades pitch, stops football game in West Yorkshire (video)
  • Non-league sides Carlton Athletic and Ilkley Town faced each other in the West Yorkshire League Premier Division.
  • And the game was halted for 15 minutes because an alpaca appeared on the football pitch.
  • The animal even charged at the player as someone is heard screaming "Do they bite?" in the footage.
  • Carlton Athletic's home ground is near a farm where animals are kept, explained club chairman John Flynn, who also revealed the alpaca is called Oscar.
  • "Oscar's really inquisitive, he was enjoying himself and running up and down the pitch, he wasn't distressed - a couple of players said he was our man of the match," he told the BBC.
