In today’s modern sanitised coverage of football, you can be sure once a streaker makes his way on to the playing surface, the cameras will pan to anywhere else but the aforementioned naked person running amok.

This was again the case on Sunday as one of the highlights of Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa for the home fans was the appearance of a male streaker with 15 minutes of the match remaining.

Villa’s limited attacking ambitions were laid out for all to see and the streaker showed more verve and wit in his cameo than Alex McLeish’s side during the 90 minutes.

Said streaker weaved his way between players from both sides, before avoiding two stewards only to then be rugby tackled by another security man.

Judging by the whoops of delight from the crowd on the video below, this was one of the most exciting incidents to take place in the Premier League match.
