Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May sported the Middlesbrough FC colours – proudly emblazoned with the Garmin logo – in a half-time pitch invasion last Saturday.
The trio were in town promoting the Top Gear exhibition at the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art when they gatecrashed the Boro v Notts Forest fixture at the Riverside Stadium to announce an extra 3,500 free tickets for Middlesbrough fans.
Clarkson and pals were greeted with a mix of cheers and jibes as they launched into their trademark banter in front of 22,700 supporters from both teams.
Clarkson said: “I will treasure that memory for the rest of my time. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was every bit as good as piloting an F-15 fighter jet, driving a Ferrari flat out or racing trucks to the centre of the Arctic.”
Ever true to the show’s sense of mischief they first walked onto the pitch wearing local rival Newcastle United shirts before changing into their Garmin-backed strip.
Hammond added: “The Boro fans showed a great sense of humour in going along with our little joke. What a great place!”
The stunt was filmed for the Top Gear Christmas Special, to be screened on 20 December.
Boro fan Keith Harland was the first winner of Garmin’s Middlesbrough Football Club ticket competition. He was also presented with a Gordon Strachan signed Middlesbrough shirt on the pitch of the Riverside at the Nottingham Forest match, 21st November.

Four games played and Middlesbrough are already setting a pace in the Championship. With Gareth Southgate and his team still yet to concede a goal, and new striker Leroy Lita notching his first goal all looks well as the pre-season rustiness is banished from the system.
This weekend Boro followed up their first away win since November at Swansea with a 2-0 home defeat of Doncaster Rovers. Goals from Lita and Turkish superstar Tuncay Sanli proved to be the difference. Talking to the BBC, Gareth has backed Lita to shine in the coming season and wants his team to keep the standards high.
For the latest goals from the weekend take a look at the BBC Sport coverage. Boro head to Nottingham Forest this evening for their Carling Cup Second Round fixture, lets see if they can keep another clean sheet.
Garmin sponsored Middlesbrough enjoyed their first away victory since November 2008 as they enjoyed the hospitality on offer from Swansea City. With goals from Adam Johnson, Martin Emnes (pictured above) and Tuncay, Middlesbrough remain unbeaten after the opening two rounds of Championship fixtures.

Here is the stunning new adidas home strip Boro will wear as they look to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt. Modelled by star defenders David Wheater and Tony McMahon, the 2009-10 strip features a white sash on both sides of a red shirt plus the famous adidas stripes down both shoulders.
It will be the first time for a decade that Boro have worn white shorts, while white socks make a comeback for the first time since the unforgettable 1995-96 season when Juninho made his first appearance at the new Riverside Stadium.
The team also wore white socks when Boro last carried adidas branding back in 1982-83.
Shirts are available in a choice of short-sleeved and long-sleeved for the first time in many years.
Boro are confident the kit’s design, feel and technology will prove a big hit with fans.
The shirts feature adidas Climacool fabric, an integrated system of technologies to regulate the wearer’s body temperature, take sweat away from the body and allow air to circulate close to the skin.
Terry Boland, Boro’s Head of Retail, said: “We are sure fans will be delighted not only with the design that adidas have produced but by the outstanding quality of the kit too”

With the business end of the Premier League fast approaching, Garmin sponsored Middlesbrough are heading into some colossal fixtures over the coming weeks.
This Saturday sees the visit of Wigan Athletic to the Riverside Stadium. A great opportunity for Boro to move on from the positive performance at West Ham United in the FA Cup last week where Boro were minutes away from advancing into the Quarter Finals. The timely return to goal scoring form of Stewart Downing is massively important for the success of the team. Good luck on Saturday lads!! For any visiting fans don't forget to download the location of all football stadiums to your Garmin Sat Nav ahead of this weekends fixtures.
The following week doesn't get any easier either. With the visit of title chasing Liverpool to the Riverside and the midweek FA Cup replay against West Ham United. Although both sides have been experiencing a slight change in fortunes recently they will both provide stern opposition for Gareth Southgates men. Team Garmin will be glued to the TV screens on Wednesday 25th February cheering Boro on as they hope for another great cup run to rival previous years. ITV have chosen this fixture for live coverage so we'll be cheering from a far at HQ in Southampton.
Recently the team Garmin Girls took to the snowy roads along with associates from Amazon, Thames IT and C2K for a fashion fundraising event at Middlesbrough Football Club.
The event was hosted to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Care and consisted of a fashion show with models from Middlesbrough's premier league football team. The likes of Tuncay and Wheater took to the catwalk and then Manager Gareth Southgate helped get proceedings underway for the charity auction. More than £2,000 was raised on the night and all monies will go towards helping people with cancer.
