Streaking - a curiously British phenomenon (that guy who streaked behind
David Niven at the Oscars notwithstanding). While I was growing up, it
seemed that almost every national sporting event in England was
interrupted by a naked runner - usually a short ugly hairy man who proved
to the crowd just how cold the weather actually was (see
Seinfeld,
shrinkage).
But while no-one - male or female - probably gives a damn about seeing
male dangly bits jogging across a tennis court, I thought there might be a
little more interest in a Hall of Fame for the great female streakers to
grace our sporting arenas.
And so, selectcopypaste.com provides a pictorial guide to the Ten best
female streakers of all time.
Erica Roe
24 year old Erica with an impressive 40“ bosom was the grandmother of
female streakers, having famously bared herself before the Queen of
England at an England vs Australia match in 1982.
Sheila Nichols
Sheila was aged only 19 when she invaded the hallowed turf of Lords
Cricket ground in 1989. She is shown here breaking the two cardinal rules
of female stripping - 1) trim well, and 2) never cartwheel.
Melissa Johnson
The first streaker to take to the grass at Wimbledon, during the Mens
singles final in 1996. Balls dropped everywhere.
Tracy Seargant
Indoor bowls, a curiously British phenomenon which my own grandfather used
to play religiously. Quite what the old codgers thought of 22 year old
waitress Tracy is anyone's guess. This happened at the Indoor Bowls
Championship in 2000. I believe in some circles the balls themselves are
called 'Woods”, so there's definitely an erection joke in there somewhere.
Jacqui Salmond
The old saying goes “Men seldom make passes at women who wear glasses”.
Err, I'm not sure that applies if that's ALL they're wearing. Naked women
and golf - to some men, I'm guessing this equals nirvana. (To quote Monty
Python, “Golf's not too popular around here”)
Michelle Cassidy
I would only consider topless to be a half-streak, but Michelle's
fine form deserves inclusion for her spirited jaunt on the Wembley turf
during the 1995 Rugby League World Cup Final.
Suzanne Pegg
Suzanne is seen here wearing Varsity colours at an Oxford vs
Cambridge Rugby match at Twickenham in 1997. Apparently Suzanne was a
student at - wait for it - Tit Hall College. Yep,
sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
Michelle Newton
It's not all young nymphs on the greens. British Mom Michelle Newton
streaked out onto a Sunderland soccer pitch to win a $100 bet. However, as
she was arrested and fined $200 for her trouble, it wasn't exactly a
financial success.
Naomi McDonald
A rare thing amongst female streakers (unlike their more outgoing male
counterparts), Naomi is a serial streaker, having pulled off naked runs at
both International cricket matches and Wimbledon.
Lynsey Dawn Mckenzie
Lynsey's sprint into streaking history happened during an England vs West
Indies cricket match in 1995. She's one of the few streakers to go on to
make a living taking her clothes off, as a professional 'big boob“ model.
So fire up google and you'll find plenty of shots.
