Maybe you can confirm it?" asked Jon Cudby back in 2000. "You said that Liverpool were the first British club to have a shirt sponsor (Hitachi in 1979), but while Liverpool are doubtless the first professional club to be sponsored, I'm pretty sure Kettering beat them to it by a few years.
#FOOTBALL STREAKER ARCHIVE#

The referee also has the power to stop the game if "an unauthorised person enters the field of play". A streaker would be an ineligible player a team cannot field more than 11, so there would be no goal.
Law 10, The Method of Scoring, says that a goal can only be given if no infringement has been made by the team scoring the goal. These goals didn't count because they occurred during breaks in play (both of Roberts' efforts came during the half-time interval), but even if a streaker were to find the net during a game, it wouldn't count. In December 1998, during an interruption in Reading's 1-0 win over Notts County, a fan ran on to the field, kissed the ground and scored past the County keeper before evading a steward and disappearing into the crowd. Roberts is not the only streaker to find the back of the net. In the Champions League final, at Hampden Park, he ripped off his velcro suit before stealing the ball, running past two defenders and finding the aptly-named Leverkusen keeper Hans-Jorg Butt no match for his finishing prowess. His goal bonus: a magistrates court appearance and £100 fine. At Anfield, Roberts took a pass from Gianfranco Zola before beating the entire Chelsea defence and firing past a half-hearted Ed de Goey, after hurdling the perimeter fence.
