"He's Like Ribery Without All the Heaviness"
Nice right? Unlike some of the Nike adverts from a few years ago, all of this is actually supposed to be real, un-altered footage. And if that is the case someone needs to sign Frenchman Remi Gaillard ASAFP. Just let stand at the edge of the 18 and have at it…with his accuracy he's gotta hit at least 20% of his tries.
Who is Remi Gaillard? 1st off he's someone who obviously does not give a damn about the cops since he's banging balls inside the front door of his local precinct. The Gallic prankster also doesn't give a damn about much else as he possesses a penchant for showing up at sporting events dressed as one of the players and making his way on to the field. He's done this several times during televised games, including singing the national anthem alongside the French national volleyball team before a qualifier and a Montpillier Herault rugby match were he made his way onto the pitch during the pre-game, walked to the center of the field holding the match ball and shook hands with the referee.
His most notorious fake-job has to be seen to be believed: wearing a full Lorient kit he snuck in amongst the team's players as they won the 2002 Coupe de France and went as far as shaking hands with president Jacque Chirac, ran victory laps with cup-holding Lorient players, giving TV interviews, and signing autographs. This Frenchie has balls of steel.

haha at some point one of the players had to go "wait who's this guy?
Wow. SF, these are probably the greatest videos you have every posted. This guy is amazing.
LMAO at work. Totally needed this today. Thanks SF.
This guy is pretty well known in France. He even has a dvd out of him doing crazy shit. His motto is "C'est en faisant n'importe quoi qu'on devient N'impporte qui" ("it's by doing nonsense that you become someone")
