Euro 2024 draw porn noise prankster has plagued several other events including cricket matches and FA Cup ties
The YouTuber prankster who claimed responsibility for an infamous porn noise playing during Saturday's 2024 European Championship draw has a colourful history.
UEFA officials in Hamburg, Germany, were stunned as the noise echoed around the Elbe Philharmonic Hall.
Presenters attempted to continue with the draw as planned but couldn't help but crack a smile at what was unfolding for millions across the world to see.
England manager Gareth Southgate, who saw his side drawn in Group C alongside Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia, was asked about the noises post-draw.

He said: "I heard something and putting two and two together I'm assuming there's some sort of prank going on but I couldn't really make out what it was."
Online personality Jarvo69, real name Daniel Jarvis, has seemingly confirmed he was the one behind it all in a livestream on X.
While in a Hamburg hotel room, he dialled an unknown mobile number and rejoiced that it connected.
Seconds later, the porn noise started to play during the draw. Jarvo had his TV on to see everyone's reaction and to say he was delighted is an understatement.
Jarvo's got previous when it comes to pulling the proverbial pants of sporting authorities down.
In 2021, he managed to get on the pitch three times when England's cricket team took on India.
The third and final time saw him collide with Jonny Bairstow. He was eventually arrested and taken out of the Oval with 'Jarvo 69' on the back of his shirt.
Last month, Jarvo was banned from cricket grounds across England after continuing to find security loopholes.
Perhaps more famously, Jarvo was the culprit behind porn noises playing live on the BBC earlier this year.
As Gary Lineker previewed Wolverhampton Wanderers' FA Cup third-round replay against Liverpool with Alan Shearer, the same sound that played at the Euro 2024 draw drowned out their conversation.
"I don’t know who’s making that noise," Lineker said before letting out a wry smile.
"Alan, it’s toasty in the studio and it’s a bit noisy as well.
"I don’t know if someone’s sending something on someone’s phone, I think. I think it’s a joke. I don’t know if you heard it at home."
Lineker later posted an image of the phone, which was taped to the back of the BBC set inside Molineux, to social media.

Jarvo has previously been on the pitch to be pictured with the New Zealand rugby union side ahead of their game with Wales, again when NFL sides the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and also as Real Madrid celebrated their Champions League final win over Liverpool in Paris last year.
