Dressed as a North Korean official, he showered Blatter with fake dollar notes and was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying: "Sepp, this is for North Korea in 2026. Cheers, Sepp - it's all there."

Bleacher Report UK posted footage of the incident:

Blatter used the press conference to announce the date of the next FIFA presidential election on February 26, 2016, as well as confirming reforms in the organisation.

This isn't the first occasion in which Brodkin has caused a stir in the public eye, crashing Kanye West's performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June, per the Daily Telegraph's Jonathan McAloon.
