Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.
Today our inductee is the story that for many months was our most trafficked story. It's the one that got us kicked from several advertising networks for indecency, and made the front pages of newspapers in Scandanavia and India. It's a celebration of ladies who take the concept of audience participation at sporting events to new heights - we give you the Top Ten Female Streakers.
Streaking - a curiously British phenomenon (that guy who streaked behind David Niven at the Oscars notwithstanding). While I was growing up, it seemed that almost every national sporting event in England was interrupted by a naked runner - usually a short ugly hairy man who proved to the crowd just how cold the weather actually was (see Seinfeld, shrinkage).
But while no-one - male or female - probably gives a damn about seeing male dangly bits jogging across a tennis court, I thought there might be a little more interest in a Hall of Fame for the great female streakers to grace our sporting arenas.
And so, YBNBY provides a pictorial guide to the Ten best female streakers of all time. (NSFW)
Erica Roe
24 year old Erica with an impressive 40“ bosom was the grandmother of female streakers, having famously bared herself before the Queen of England at an England vs Australia match in 1982.
Sheila Nichols
Sheila was aged only 19 when she invaded the hallowed turf of Lords Cricket ground in 1989. She is shown here breaking the two cardinal rules of female stripping - 1) trim well, and 2) never cartwheel.
Melissa Johnson
The first streaker to take to the grass at Wimbledon, during the Mens singles final in 1996. Balls dropped everywhere.
Tracy Seargant
Indoor bowls, a curiously British phenomenon which my own grandfather used to play religiously. Quite what the old codgers thought of 22 year old waitress Tracy is anyone's guess. This happened at the Indoor Bowls Championship in 2000. I believe in some circles the balls themselves are called 'Woods”, so there's definitely an erection joke in there somewhere.
Jacqui Salmond
The old saying goes “Men seldom make passes at women who wear glasses”. Err, I'm not sure that applies if that's ALL they're wearing. Naked women and golf - to some men, I'm guessing this equals nirvana. (To quote Monty Python, “Golf's not too popular around here”)
Michelle Cassidy
I would only consider topless to be a half-streak, but Michelle's fine form deserves inclusion for her spirited jaunt on the Wembley turf during the 1995 Rugby League World Cup Final.
Suzanne Pegg
Suzanne is seen here wearing Varsity colours at an Oxford vs Cambridge Rugby match at Twickenham in 1997. Apparently Suzanne was a student at - wait for it - Tit Hall College. Yep, sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
Michelle Newton
It's not all young nymphs on the greens. British Mom Michelle Newton streaked out onto a Sunderland soccer pitch to win a $100 bet. However, as she was arrested and fined $200 for her trouble, it wasn't exactly a financial success.
Naomi McDonald
A rare thing amongst female streakers (unlike their more outgoing male counterparts), Naomi is a serial streaker, having pulled off naked runs at both International cricket matches and Wimbledon.
Lynsey Dawn Mckenzie
Lynsey's sprint into streaking history happened during an England vs West Indies cricket match in 1995. She's one of the few streakers to go on to make a living taking her clothes off, as a professional 'big boob“ model. So fire up google and you'll find plenty of shots.

Sorry to break the fun, but there is no tit hall college in oxbridge. However, Trinity Hall College at Cambridge University is informally known as Tit Hall...
I'd like to see a follw up.
I think the comments posted by you under each streaker are really good bar the sunderland one. Well feeble im sad to say. The facts of the records broken were surely a more poignant and interesting article to read! The biggest w,wide audience of 170 million.
The longest recorded streak of over 7 mins.
Her pics broke wearsideroar.coms all time record of more than a million hits. Maybe these would be more interesting points to read considering she is included in your top ten ever? (For which i thank you)
