Seth posted this footage of a man allegedly trying to steal the World Cup (that’s right, the trophy) at the 2010 Fifa World Cup final at Soccer City on July 11.
Some of you were kind enough to point out that “a man” was actually Jimmy Jump, a 34 year old professional pitch invader and downright flamboyant Spaniard.
Jimmy Jump’s real name is Juame Marquet Cot, and apparently his main intention was to place a barretina on the shiny scalp of the trophy – the red beany-like hat is a spanish symbol of freedom, liberty, and presumably, naked running.
What’s more, all indications are that this last stunt was Jimmy’s final Jump, and he’s hanging up his barretina for good.
With that in mind, please enjoy an overview of Jimmy’s illustrious jumping career.
