Speaking of Football and Union Suits - Updated 

On October 11th, I received this email from Trevor of Shamrock, TX:

Chris: it's a wonder Party Marty didn't loose a shoe or two when he clamored off the football field in his union suit after stealing the football right out of the hands of the kicker who was just then setting the ball on the tee. As he pushed thru the metal bars leading up into the stands where the crowd cheered him on, it's a wonder one of the security men didn't get hold of a shoe or two and yank them off his feet. Or, grab ahold of his underwear drop seat and yank off a button!  LOL. Too bad there is not a video of him at the top, continuing to attempt to get away in that bright red union suit! What balls he had!

I agree Trevor, a later video would have been nearly as great as him initially careening on and off the field, taking that football right under the noses of the players and the referees!  Hopefully, he was not arrested but allowed to go back to retrieve his clothes and was able to keep his well-earned football trophy!...Chris

Having posted recently RC and Stanley Steamer enjoying televised football while wearing their "lucky" union suits, I was reminded of a posting I featured in Union Suit Fan years ago.

It was of the ultimate fan who had stripped down to just his red union suit and raced on to the field, stealing the ball during a televised major pro football game in front of millions of fans at the stadium and watching on tv. From five years ago this week, here is....

Party Marty!

Don't you love a good wager? I do and that's why this blog has featured a number of them. Whether it was Ritchie Cunningham of the TV series “Happy Days,” or Michael of Lakewood, Colorado, football fan, Dave Doyle, or Tom and RC. You've seen their antics here on Union Suit Fan. And, what did they all had in common? The loser of the bet had to strip down to his union suit and run around in public. Well, here's one I found on YouTube that will most likely make you wish you had been there to witness this one:

“So let me set the scene for you...
Atlanta Falcons vs Cincinnati Bengals circa 1981, it’s a nationally televised game. It’s about 20 degrees out and “Party Marty” decides to accept a dare. Some tequila and several bud lights later he strips down to his red long underwear and swoops in for the NFL surprise play of the YEAR!! Astonished, the players and referees look on as Marty slides in for the steal and takes off running in his union suit.


The crowd cues in on what’s happening the stadium erupts with cheers and unadulterated support as Marty hucks it up those stairs. Classic. The more you watch the better it gets too. I’d love to find out who he is! And the cheerleader? She’s stoked. And those butt taps!? Solid gold!

My friends and family have enjoyed this little diddy for years. Now it’s time to share the love! If you know anyone who was at the game or is in this video please tag them or share! If you think Marty, stealing the game's football and running off the field in his underwear, is amazing, share! Let’s get this out there! I’d love to hear some stories! Enjoy! ….ANONYMOUS”

  3. Chris, I remember seeing this posting five years ago in your blog and loved it, especially the video you attached showcasing the whole larceny! Just wonder what wager this guy lost or how many beers he put away before his buddies convinced him to strip down to his red long underwear, run on to the field and steal the football they were about to use. Sure would be nice if someone knew the story and the "thiefs" name, and if he has that football displayed on this fireplace mantel. Thanks for posting again. It's a winner.
