Erika Roe (born 1957), also known as the Twickenham Streaker, is remembered for a topless run across the pitch of Twickenham Stadium during an England vs. Australia rugby union match on 2 January 1982. It has been described by the BBC as "perhaps the most famous of all streaks."〔(Bare without a care ). BBC (6 August 2000). Accessed 3 October 2007.〕 Roe, who later attributed the inspiration to alcohol, ran onto the field during half time, exposing her 40-inch bosom.〔(Where are they now? ) Scotland on Sunday (26 August 2007). Accessed 3 October 2007.〕 Roe and the friend who joined her streak (Sarah Bennett)〔http://www.interestingfacts.org.uk/sport/first-streaker-at-a-rugby-match〕 were corralled by police officers on the field, one of whom covered Roe's chest with his helmet while leading her off the field.〔(100 most memorable sporting moments: 71-90 ), The Observer. (4 February 2001) Accessed 13 March 2011.〕 While Roe was not the first or the last streaker at an athletic event, in 2007 ''The Independent'' of London declared that her "memorable" streak made her a suitable icon to represent all such streakers in their article on sports interruptions.〔Viner, Brian. (7 July 2007). (Wimbledon washout brings memories of some barefaced interruptions ). ''The Independent'' (London). Accessed 3 October 2007.〕 The event prompted Manchester Confidential to dub her "the most famous British streaker."〔(Streak of peace ). Manchester Confidential. Accessed 3 October 2007.〕 Roe's continuing notoriety saw her appear on the nostalgic British TV programmes ''After They Were Famous'' (1999) and ''80s Mania'' (2001).〔("After They Were Famous" Episode #2.3 (2000) )〕〔(80s Mania (2001) (TV) )〕 She was working at that time in a bookstore in Petersfield, Hampshire, but moved with her husband and children to Portugal to become an organic farmer of sweet potatoes.〔 In December 2014, at the age of 56, Roe released a topless calendar in support of breast cancer research in memory of her sister who died from the disease; the photographs for the calendar were shot by her daughter, Imogen.〔http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2862853/Why-m-stripping-56-Erika-Roe-public-school-girl-lifted-men-s-hearts-Twickenham-33-years-ago-haunting-tragedy-inspired-wrinkles-all.html〕 ==See also== *Public nudity *Streaking 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erica Roe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
