The first instance of streaking in English football took place on 23 March 1974. Prior to the start of the league match between [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] at [[Arsenal Stadium]], a middle-aged man named John Taylor ran around the field. He was eventually caught by three policemen, forcibly made to wear trousers, and removed from the stadium. Taylor was fined £10 by the North London Court the next day.<ref name="CricStreak"/>
