Aris Thessaloniki Use ‘Where’s Wally?’ Man City Squad Photo In Match Programme
By Chris Wright
“Top row, from left to right: Pirlo, Forlan, Robben…”
When the vast Man City bandwagon rolled into town on Tuesday evening, Greek side Aris Thessaloniki pulled out all the stops to impress their uber-wealthy guests by providing City executives with an advanced copy of their matchday programme – which included the picture above under the proviso that it was the Premier League side’s official squad photo.
Can you spot their little mistake? And no, it’s not Shaun Wright-Phillips.
If not, I’ll let the Guardian’s Daniel Taylor explain:
“Aris have since explained that the editorial team, searching the internet for a photograph of the City squad, had instead located a ‘Where’s Wally?’ spoof picture which first appeared as a Gallery (a thread for humorously doctored photos) entry on the Guardian’s website and did not realise the difference.
“Wally can be found between Joe Hart and James Milner – just in front of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Diego Forlan.
“The programme in question is now on the way to becoming a collector’s item, with a handful getting into circulation before the message got out. One has already been made available on eBay – for £35.”
Talk about making a complete Aris of yourselves. That said, at their current rate of expansion it probably won’t be too long before City have actually assembled a similar 80-strong heaving man-heap of a squad.

You try and hide behind humor but the truth is, youre just another number in the City hater crew of muppets.
Sums up that horrible team perfectly. Truly the pestilence of English football with their foreign government funding. Foreign private citizens and businesses are fine, but foreign GOVERNMENT agencies? I thought there was supposed to be no room in sport for politics. Perhaps Prince Charles should buy Barcelona and call it ours, like the arabs call City theirs.
@CiTyBlUe, that ‘crew’ includes everyone who isn’t a city fan and their hate is related, amoung many other things, to unabashed usage of the the word ‘crew’.
do you know what artificial means?
