Jimmy Jump

If like us you wondered about the daft fanny that invaded the pitch in the Euro 2004 Final, then wonder no more. I dunno about you, but I never read any stories about it afterwards. And I looked. There were some though.

Apparently he was protesting Luis Figo's 2000 transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid. The guy's name is Jimmy Jump and he is famed for crazy stunts. Have a look at his website.

It's not the kind of thing the British media focus on, as it seems that they don't want to give these guys 'the publicity they seek.' Kind of why they turn their cameras away from pitch invaders here. Yet they're more than happy to put pish like Big Brother on 20 hours a day for 8 weeks and have garbage like Heat magazine on the newsstands, featuring page after page of wannabe famous cretins. Luckily the Portuguese director didn't have the same standards and thirstily captured the moment when a tit made loads of folk laugh. We want to see this kind of thing on the telly, some daftie making himself and some security guys look daft.
