Prior to Manchester City's 2-0 loss at Everton on Saturday, a BBC comedian dressed in a City kit was arrested for attempting to warm up with the team. Simon Brodkin of the BBC Three show Lee Nelson's Well Good Show was in character as fictional Premier League footballer Jason Bent and dressed in full City kit (complete with "Bent 9" on the back) and warm-ups. He somehow managed to get on the pitch at Goodison Park as City warmed up before the match, confusing players and eventually get escorted away by security personnel (pictures here).

The BBC report on the matter conveniently leaves out the fact that Brodkin works for them:
A man dressed in a Manchester City kit tried to warm up with the team at a match.
He ran on to the pitch at Goodison Park in Liverpool as City's players warmed up for their champions' [sic] Premier League match against Everton.
Stewards noticed him and he was led away by security staff.
Merseyside Police said a 35-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of pitch encroachment and will be interv

There was a guy who actually got into Man U's team photo before one of their UCL Final appearances.

A similar thing happened to a Liverpool fan at the 2005 CL final. There are pictures of him kissing the cup with Gerrard. Fooled everyone.

A HS friend of mine once told me he ran into a guy at the 2007 NC game that goes down to the field for every major game played in the Dome for the simple purpose of collecting his jollies. Just puts on some official looking clothes, confidently walks down to the field and shakes hands with the coaches at the end of the game. If I remember right, he said the guy shook Les Miles' hand before Tressel. Could be wrong, and it could be an old whore's tale, etc. I tried to go back to that part and verify but you can't tell from camera angle. Whatever the case, a CSB.
