A figure known as "Erica the streaker" has been returned to Godshill Model Village, renewing interest in the local attraction. The character’s name appears to reference Erika Roe, who gained notoriety for streaking during a high-profile rugby match between England and Australia at Twickenham Stadium in 1982.

Some previous reports linked Erika to football matches in the 1970s, but her most well-known appearance was during the early 1980s rugby event. The model figure commemorates this moment, capturing a notable episode in British sports history.

The return of Erica to the model village has prompted reflections on sporting events and cultural moments from that era. The presence of the figure offers visitors a playful nod to a memorable incident that remains part of England’s sporting folklore.
