An extra man sneaked onto the pitch in authentic United away kit and joined the back row. Several players noticed him, especially the midfield "enforcer" Roy Keane, but not one player or official did anything about the intruder. He was wearing Cantona's name on his back and he did look a bit like the Frenchman. Once the formality had been completed, the impostor just sauntered back to the stands.
A hoaxer he joined the TV crew as they got into the stadium, changed into his kit and made his imprint on the pre-match entertainment. It isn't quite a simple as that!
Karl Power has made a name for himself as an "impostor" as this video with show.
This video is an hour long so you might just take a glance at it,though it is funny and there are adverts. there is also some "rich" language.

It is not his only "triumph" having made attempts to intrude at Wimbledon playing a short game before a Tim Henman match, walking out to bat at Headingly wearing a helmet at a Test Match, beating Michael Schumacher to the winner's podium at the end of the 2001 British Grand Prix and entering into a Haka at a rugby international (not a NZ match!). In 2003 he was given a life ban from Old Trafford after he and two friends re-enacted Diego Forlan's goal against Liverpool from a previous match.
The article tells all.
