Gary Neville also objected. He knew that Power wasn’t part of the United starting X1 and told Power so. Power told Neville that he was doing this all for Eric Cantona and Gary was to shut up, which seemed to buy him the time he needed to sneak into the photograph.
Neville surely didn’t buy Power’s explanation, although he might have been confused in
ways he couldn’t quite put a finger on. Power, you see, has a passing resemblance to
Cantona and was wearing Cantona’s famous number 7 shirt. Power might almost have
passed for “King Eric” except that Cantona hadn’t played for United for going on for four years by the time of the Bayern quarter-final.
Perhaps, like Cole, Neville reasoned that this would all become irrelevant because
whomever this Cantona lookalike was, he and his baggy shorts would soon be on his way, walking off the pitch and out of history.
