Magazine admits part in team photo imposter

Men's magazine Front has claimed responsibility for helping a man sneak into Manchester United's Champions League team picture.

Only Jaap Stam was left bemused when the Cantona lookalike wandered on to the Bayern Munich pitch and took part in the team photograph.

Front editor Piers Hernu said the man used a Manchester United pass card of some kind to get near the pitch and then just coolly strode on to get his picture taken.

Hernu claimed that after getting his picture taken the man went back to the side of the pitch to watch the game.

According to reports, the man was named as Carl Power from Droylsden, Greater Manchester.

Former celebrities Noel Edmonds and Vanessa Feltz have also fallen victim to previous Front publicity stunts.
