The man behind the popular TV character 'Lee Nelson' pulled off another audacious publicity stunt at the expense of the under-fire FIFA president.
A protester interrupted a FIFA press conference on Monday and threw fake bank notes at outgoing president Sepp Blatter.
The man has been identified as British comedian Simon Brodkin, who is renowned for his publicity stunts, having most recently tried to crash rapper Kanye West's set at the Glastonbury music festival.
Blatter was speaking after it was confirmed that a vote will be held on February 26 to decide his successor.
The Swiss secured another term as president at an election in Zurich last month but he subsequently decided to stand down after feeling that he had lost the support of many within the football world in the wake of the corruption scandal that has rocked FIFA.
