But Mark Roberts, 42, insisted Tuesday that he never intended to streak at or even attend the match between Spanish sides Sevilla and Espanyol at Scotland's Hampden Park national stadium.

Police slapped yet another three-year football banning order on Roberts, barring him from every British soccer ground and forcing him to surrender his passport and register with the police when a British team plays in Europe.

Roberts' lawyer Laurence Lee said he was instructing a Scottish colleague to appeal against the order.

"Football banning orders were intended to tackle hooligans, not harmless pranksters," he said.

"The police are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."

Roberts, from Liverpool, suspected Strathclyde Police of "sour grapes" following his last appearance at Hampden Park back in 2002.

He streaked at the Champions League final when Spain's Real Madrid beat Germany's Bayer Leverkusen 2-1, and had Brave Tart written on his back.

"I think the police up there have probably got a case of sour grapes against me because of that, but I can honestly say I had no intention of going to the UEFA Cup final or any other football match in the UK," Roberts said. "The order is ridiculously over the top. It means I will never be out of a police station and I'll never have my passport for more than five minutes.

"I don't mind taking my punishment when I've done something, but this is punishing me severely for something I haven't done, and have no intention of doing.

"If they wanted to order me to stay away from the cup final, then fair enough, but why infringe on my life and my family life for three years?"

Roberts has pulled off an extraordinary array of streaks.

They include the last Super Bowl, the Wimbledon men's final, the Tour de France, the UEFA Cup final, the rugby union World Cup final, the French Open, the Ryder Cup, the London Marathon, the Winter Olympics curling event, the World Snooker Championships, the Commonwealth Games, the International Synchronised Swimming Championships, Royal Ascot, the Grand National, Mr Universe, Britain's National Lottery, the Pamplona Running of the Bulls -- and even dog show Crufts.
