It’s been over three years now since Liverpudlian Mark Roberts streaked at the 38th Super Bowl in Houston Texas but many are still asking did he receive a huge sum of money from an online gaming site to attempt the daring feat.
While the half time entertainment section will always be remembered for Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction when her nipple was revealed on live television elsewhere in the stadium Roberts was preparing to shock Conservative Americans.
He raced onto the field at the start of the second half baring all and having a tattoo on his back and front promoting internet casino site, GoldenPalace.com.
The Scouser (now 42 years old) was tackled by members of the teams taking part, the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers, as well as by police and security staff before being taken into custody.
He had been able to enter the game disguised as a referee, as he had done months before in the 2003 Uefa Cup Final in Seville.
At the time of the game the millions of television viewers around the world did not see Roberts streak as such activity is not broadcast on the American airwaves due to ‘indecency.”
However it was shown a day later on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ as well as on other chat shows across the U.S.
The Golden Palace website still shows the clip on their website and in the end reaped massive exposure from the stunt.
The Letterman show alone is watched by tens of millions of Americans each weekday night while the off the wall chat show is also broadcast around the world.
In interviews at the time Roberts refused to tell reporters what amount of money he received from the gambling site.
Famous British Streaker Roberts is now forced to hand over his passport before big football games in Europe to ensure he won’t streak at them.
