The Anonymous Widower

Erica Roe

Britain’s most famous streaker is Erica Roe who ran across the pitch at Twickenham during an England Australia match on 2nd January 1982.  She was mentioned on BBC Breakfast this morning. According to her Wikipedia entry, she and her family are farming organic sweet potatoes in Portugal.

I wonder who the gent in the left of the photograph is?  And note Erica’s belt.  We all had belts like that at some time, if you were born before 1960.  I haven’t seen one in years.

Is that a ciggie in her mouth?  How very 1980′s.

  3. Snake belts? I was born a long time after 1960, but they were still all the rage when I was at school.

    • It’s funny, but every day someone looks for this page. She is certainly remembered and how many of today’s Z-listers will still be searched for in years to come?

      • I agree…she was a symbol of the naughtyness that we still enjoyed in those days…today this picture would only be remarkable because of the apparent ciggarette thats she’s smoking…and yes…who will search for Jody Marsh or Jordan in 35 years time….Titter ye not…LOL

  4. I see you’re a magician. I hope business isn’t disappearing in these times.

    I once met a lady, who was one of the first to be sawn in half on stage.

    • They dress rather differently today. Times change.

      It’s amazing how many hits this page gets.
