Marathon ban for defrocked priest
London Evening Standard
21 March 2005
An eccentric former priest, who caused havoc at last year's Olympics, was today served with an Anti-Social Behaviour Order to ensure he does not disrupt next month's London Marathon.

Neil Horan, 57, was defrocked in January for his madcap daredevil stunts which have seen him end up in prison.

He earned global notoriety for disrupting the men's marathon in Athens last summer and dashing on to the track at the Silverstone Grand Prix in 2003.
Today, he was served with an Asbo barring him from going anywhere near the London Marathon course on April 17.

Dressed in his customary brown kilt, Irish green waistcoat and green tam-o'-shanter, the ex-priest represented himself at the brief hearing at Camberwell Magistrates' Court in south London.
