Former NRL player Mark McLinden has been revealed as the pitch invader from the grand final on Sunday night.
McLinden ran onto the playing field in the second half wearing football boots and managed to rip off the Telstra advertising from a pad on one of the goalposts.
The 43-year-old then tried to do the same to the other pad but security arrived and he managed to evade them before being tackled around the 20-metre line.
