The pitch invader who gatecrashed England’s pre-match line-up photo prior to Saturday’s weekend victory over Ireland in Dublin has revealed they walked around the turf before stripping into a full replica kit.
The worrying security breach happened ahead of the Three Lions’ clash with the Republic of Ireland when Lee Carsley’s team were posing for the traditional pre-match picture.
The man joined Lee Carsley’s man as they prepared for pre-match photos and had to be led away by security.
He was wearing a full England kit with the number ’69’ on the back and how he was allowed to make it on to the pitch with more than 50,00 fans and dozens of stewards and security guards in attendance remains a mystery.
YouTube and viral prankster Daniel Jarvis AKA ‘Jarvo’ revealed he had been behind the stunt and has now shared stunning footage of his route to the pitch in an online video.

In what is a further mockery of pitchside security, Jarvo was somehow able to get close to England players going through their warm-ups, take clothing off next to TV pundits and sit directly next to security guards.
Ironically, Jarvis is banned from all sporting events in England and Wales after running onto the field of play at The Oval pitch during the England v India Test series in 2021.
On that occasion, he barged into England’s Jonny Bairstow and was banned from all sporting events in the countries for two years.
However, it appears his antics aren’t as well known across the water after he was able to pull off a latest stunt that left him awkwardly standing next to Three Lions stars Anthony Gordon and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Stewards eventually got hold of the joker and escorted him away from the pitch.

Jarvis was previously arrested over his stunt and was subsequently charged with aggravated trespass.
He denied intending to disrupt the game, but was convicted of aggravated trespass at a trial in 2022.
He received an eight-week jail term suspended for two years.
An hour after his England pitch invasion, Jarvis posted on X: ‘I am now Englands fattest ever football player!!!’
