Jimmy Jump

Jimmy Jump is a Spanish Catalan "jumper", or pitch invader. According to his website, his basic aim is to become famous by infiltrating major events and stealing the show.
His most famous "jump" occurred on July 4 2004, during the Euro 2004 finals between Greece and Portugal. This particular pitch invasion seemed to serve two purposes, as not only did Jimmy gain worldwide coverage, the Catalan "jumper" seemed to be settling a score against Portuguese football star Luis Figo, whom the Catalans consider a traitor after transferring to arch-rivals Real Madrid from FC Barcelona.
The last time he was seen at a major event was when he "jumped" during the semi-final match of Champions League between Liverpool and Chelsea on May 3 2005.
