I can't think of three scarier words to put together than 'Pro-Hitler Jig'.Grand prix priest held over planned Hitler demo
Neil Horan, the former Irish priest who invaded the marathon at the Athens Olympics, is being held in a German prison after he was arrested ahead of a "pro-Hitler" demonstration. Horan had planned to light a candle in memory of Hitler, give readings and do a jig outside the Olympic Stadium in Berlin before the World Cup final. Before Horan could begin he was arrested and is still being held in custody. His family is liaising with the authorities through the Irish embassy in Berlin to try to secure his release, although he is expected to stand trial within a few weeks.
In 2004 Horan achieved worldwide notoriety at the Olympics when he ran from the crowd of spectators and assaulted the leader Vanderlei de Lima, costing the Brazilian the race. He had previously run in front of formula one cars at Silverstone - leading to the nickname of the "grand prix priest".
Horan was stripped of his position in the Roman Catholic church for using sermons to promote his belief that the end of the world is nigh.
