Just when sports fans thought they’d seen it all, notorious prankster Daniel “Jarvo” Jarvis has struck again.
This time, he somehow managed to slip past security and join the Australian Kangaroos on the field before their clash against England in Liverpool — and he did it in full view of the cameras.
Walking Out Like One of the Team
The English YouTube personality, famously known as Jarvo 69, confidently walked out with the Australian team, even putting an arm around Melbourne Storm star Cameron Munster and singing the national anthem beside him.
For a moment, it looked as though he actually belonged there.
It took a while before officials realized that Jarvo wasn’t part of the squad, but the reaction was mixed.
Munster later told reporters he genuinely thought the mystery man was “Kevvie’s cousin or something,” referring to coach Kevin Walters.
Security Shock but Fans Love It
While security teams were less than impressed by the breach, fans couldn’t help but laugh at Jarvo’s boldness.
“Jarvo69 gets where water can’t,” one fan joked online, while another added, “I hope our boys signed his jumper after the game.”
The incident quickly went viral, adding yet another bizarre chapter to Jarvis’s long list of headline-making antics.
A Record of Sporting Mischief
Jarvis has earned a global reputation for outrageous pranks.
He has 140,000 Instagram followers and a huge YouTube audience that eagerly awaits his next move.
Over the years, he’s pulled stunts across cricket, football, rugby, and even live television.
Back in 2021, he made headlines after storming the pitch at The Oval, colliding with Jonny Bairstow.
Not long after, he sabotaged a BBC FA Cup broadcast by hiding a phone that played porn noises live on air as Gary Lineker tried to open the show.
The BBC’s Reaction to His Live TV Antics
The unexpected sound prank forced the BBC to launch a security review.
Surprisingly, Lineker himself laughed it off, calling it a “good prank” and saying there was no need for an apology.
But authorities have not always been so forgiving. Jarvis’s stunts have repeatedly landed him in court, where he’s faced fines, bans, and even jail time.
Another Anthem Appearance and Online Boast
In a more recent incident, Jarvo invaded the pitch during England’s match against Ireland, lining up beside players during the national anthem — again in full England kit.
He recorded the entire moment and later posted it online, seemingly unfazed by the backlash.
This came despite his suspended jail sentence and a ban from attending sporting events in England and Wales, handed down after his 2021 pitch invasion.
Crossing Borders with His Pranks
Jarvis doesn’t limit his antics to the UK. He once crashed the Cricket World Cup match between India and Australia in Chennai, approaching Virat Kohli before being escorted off the field by security.
He also served jail time in 2015 after staging a fake “heist” at the National Portrait Gallery, which caused panic among visitors.
From Paris to X Factor – The Stunts Keep Coming
Not even the Paris Olympics closing ceremony was safe.
Jarvo managed to sneak in dressed as part of Team Great Britain, even posing for a photo with the French President.
He’s also infiltrated X Factor, NFL London games, Wales vs New Zealand rugby anthems, and several other high-profile sporting events — proving that no stage is too big for his antics.
What the Courts Have Said
After his Oval pitch invasion, Jarvis was found guilty of aggravated trespass, with judges noting he had 15 convictions for 21 offences.
The court imposed a two-year ban from sporting venues — covering one hour before and after events — and a 12-month travel restriction.
During sentencing, District Judge Daniel Benjamin made it clear how seriously the courts view such breaches, saying:
“Players and officials deserve to feel safe within their workplace. Even if no harm is intended, contact can still cause injury.
Entering the arena at a sporting fixture is not a silly matter — it’s far outside acceptable behavior and will be met with severe sanctions.”
The Legend of Jarvo 69 Lives On
Despite repeated punishments, Jarvo shows no sign of stopping.
Each new prank seems to push the boundaries of what fans — and security — think is possible.
Whether people view him as a folk hero of sporting mischief or a serial nuisance, one thing’s certain: Daniel Jarvis always finds a way to get noticed — and the world can’t help but watch.
