‘It Wasn’t Sexual in Any Way!’ 50 Years of Streaking – By The People Who Dared to Bare All
November 13, 2024 at 06:11AMIn a piece infused with joy, Simon Hattenstone meets people who—at some point in their lives—streaked. Some have bared all just once, but some are streaking on an almost professional level. The stories of the streaks are all rather delightful (even if ending in arrests). So, too, are the streakers themselves. So take some time to meet the characters who just let things fly.
Back then, he was lean and fast. Roberts even managed to evade the stewards to get back to his seat. “There were girls coming up and kissing me and guys pouring pints of beer over my head. I was like: ‘Bring it on.’” Then the police came for him. As he was being escorted out, a friend pressed a pass into his free hand, so he could get back into the ground, which he did shortly after. “Then one of my friends said: ‘Can I get on your shoulders and get my boobs out?’ I said: ‘How do you think I’m going to get on the pitch with you on my shoulders?’” But he did. This time, he was arrested. He believes he broke a record that day – the first person to streak twice at the same event. Roberts claims that he wasn’t charged because the police were so impressed with his feat.
