One of the great, unanswered questions of human existence is why some people feel compelled to get their old feller out and waggle him about in front of tens of thousands of people at sporting events.

This instinct seems more like a higher calling to some, and these people will risk life, limb and almost certain public humiliation in order to disrupt footy games and show off the goods.

Such was the case at last night’s Rabbitohs–Roosters clash at ANZ Stadium, when a bold, pants-less gentleman took to the field and led security on a merry chase.

Old mate managed to evade capture for a good long time, and it eventually took eight people to bring him down:

“We’ve got a streaker, or a lunatic more correctly, on the field,” said commentators. “We are going to have a stoppage here while the security guards … well, they can’t catch him. He’s got a bit of speed. Well there’s only 19,000 people here, I guess it only takes one.”

Good effort.
