VIDEO: Lee Nelson throws money at Sepp Blatter during comedy stunt

An English comedian threw money at Sepp Blatter as the president of world football’s governing body prepared to give details of the February 26 presidential election at a press conference.

Blatter, who announced at the start of June that he would be standing down as president of FIFA, was about to address the world’s media in Zurich when Simon Brodkin interrupted proceedings before being hauled away by security staff.

Blatter left the stage and an official from the world governing body revealed that the press conference would be delayed.
