ALL eyes were on him as he sprinted up the wing at Hastings United last night, but for once it wasn't the Chipstead forwards causing trouble but a very speedy streaker.
Chipstead won the Ryman League Division One South fixture 2-0 last night, but the talk of the evening was the man in the red pants who outpaced the stewards.
And Chips boss Steve Baker admits it made his evening.
"It was brilliant," the manager said. "So funny. You don't normally see things like that in football. All of a sudden there was this skinny, ginger bloke running across the pitch in red pants. It was an absolutely freezing evening, which is probably why he kept the pants on!"
And after seeing the streaker's turn of pace when he realised he had stewards in pursuit, Baker is pondering putting in a seven-dayer to Hastings for his services.
"He was very fast and quickly disappeared into the bushes. Maybe I should sign him up," Baker said, tongue firmly in cheek. "We seemed to kick on after the streaker, so I could get him to do it at every game."
