Véase enfermedades mentales Jaume Marquet Cot (born 1974), more popularly known as Jimmy Jump, is a pitch invader known for his pitch invasions of several major sporting events.
His most famous sports field invasion occurred on 4 July 2004, during the UEFA Euro 2004 final between Greece and Portugal, in which he threw an FC Barcelona flag at the Portuguese captain – Luís Figo – who left that team to join their most intensive rival, Real Madrid, in 2000. He also ran through the starting lane at the 2004 Spanish Grand Prix, and invaded the pitch during a La Liga match between Real Madrid and Barcelona on 19 November 2005.
Another invasion by "Jimmy" was made during the second leg of the 2006 UEFA Champions League semifinal between Villarreal and Arsenal. He ran on to the pitch just before the second half began and tossed a Barcelona jersey at Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, with Henry's name and the number 14 printed on the back. (On 25 June 2007, Henry was transferred to Barcelona and was given his number 14.) Jimmy was apprehended and taken into custody by stadium security, and later fined €60,100 by Spain's sporting anti-violence commission.
During the 2007 Champions League final between Milan and Liverpool, he ran onto the pitch holding a Greek flag, but was not shown during the live broadcast.
He also entered the pitch at the start of the second half of the 2007 Rugby World Cup final between England and South Africa.
Another one of his "raids" was at the end of the UEFA Euro 2008 semi-final match between Germany and Turkey in Basel, Switzerland; this time he had a Tibetan flag and wore a t-shirt with an inscription "Tibet is not China."
Jimmy Jump entered the stadium in a La Liga match between Barcelona and Racing de Santander. He was finally caught by Samuel Eto'o, who persuaded him to leave the field.
During the 2009 Men's Singles Finals of the French Open, he accosted eventual winner Roger Federer, attempting to place a red barretina on his head. Jimmy was tackled by a security guard while stumbling after he jumped over the net. He faces up to 12 months in prison for this antic.[1]
During the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Norway Jimmy Jump invaded the stage during the Spanish performance and took part in the choreography. He was subsequently chased off the stage by security at the venue and immediately escorted away from the concert area and taken to the police station. Svante Stockselius, head of the song contests, allowed Spain to perform again due to the incident after the final performance.[2][3][4][5][6]
Jimmy is also credited for the Spain championship in the 2010th annual Eurovision Singing Contest.
