A streaker forced play to be suspended at Super Bowl LV before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Raymond James Stadium.

Deep into the fourth quarter, a streaker, with a tiny pink outfit stormed the field and ran across half the length of the pitch before security eventually tackled the man in the end zone.

After making it initially to midfield, the streaker turned towards the Buccaneers' end zone, and showed a change of pace to race clear of two security guards, who tumbled to the turf.

The man, with tattoos covering his chest and back, eventually went down in the end zone when two more security guards closed in.

But Westwood One commentator Kevin Harland delivered an iconic radio call on the moment, angrily urging the man to "pull up your pants, take off your bra and be a man".
