Monday, July 3, 2000 - Tennis star Anna Kournikova and her doubles partner covered their eyes as a streaker ran onto the court during their Wimbledon match.
Mark Roberts, 35, from Liverpool, had the words “Only the balls should bounce” - a cheeky corruption of the slogan from the Russian player’s sports bra adverts - written on his chest.
He jumped over the net, did a forward roll onto the grass and ran around the court for 90 seconds while the embarrassed players covered their eyes.
The streaker was bad news for bookmakers William Hill, however, who had given odds of 2-1 that there would be one during a Kournikova match.
A spokesman said: “It looks like we will lose our shirt along with him.”
Came across this video on YouTube and I couldn’t stop laughing. This is every serial streakers dream: outmaneuver the officials and come back for seconds.
Michael O’Brien appears at Twickenham in January 1974, quite possibly one of the oldest streaks. I wonder if the policeman is going to sanitize that hat afterwards.
Geordie Brynn Reed streaked in front of the Queen’s Rolls Royce on her Jubilee visit to Newcastle in May 2002.
Brynn says, “I just wondered what it felt like really… It’s also something to tell the grandchildren, and that appealed to me.”
“I was planning to run alongside the Queen’s car for the entire journey until I got arrested, but unfortunately I misjudged the timing.”
“I knew I was going to get caught but it’s just a practical joke at the end of the day. I was pretty sure that was the way it would be taken.”
“I certainly wasn’t out to upset the Queen. I thought I might have got a smirk or reaction out of her, but she was very professional and kept a straight face.”
Sadly, Brynn’s employers didn’t think it was quite so funny, and he was fired from his five week-old job. “I don’t think they liked the headline ‘the naked civil servant’.”
This guy takes streaking to the next level. It was a good idea he went after the horses, otherwise it would have been like running with the bulls. This event was at York Racecourse in England infront of 20,000 people. Good on ya chap!
Ok, so it turns out this guy was trying to kick the ball around. After a swift kick in the ass from a set of cleats, he quickly moved off the field. My advice: You have to be more agile than football players if you are going to join their sport.
