Streaking at sporting events is generally thought to have begun in 1974, when a 25- year-old Australian accountant named Michael O'Brien ran naked onto the pitch at Twickenham Stadium in London during a soccer match between France and England. That event was being televised live, but it was perhaps a still image in the papers of an English bobby covering Mr. O'Brien's private parts that is most remembered.
