Karl Power
Karl Power is a prankster from Droylsden, Manchester, known for appearing uninvited at sporting events as an impostor. Most notoriously he appeared in the Manchester United team photo before a UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich in 2001.
After the stunt, there was a nationwide manhunt in the United Kingdom for Power with tabloid newspapers asking their readers to write in and give them information. He was unmasked to BBC Sport by men's magazine ''Front''. The magazine revealed that Power had entered the stadium pretending to be with a TV crew to gain access to the pitch〔(BBC SPORT | FOOTBALL | The biggest football sting in history )〕 and simply walked back to the stands again afterwards to watch the game.
He is a long-term friend of Manchester band Happy Mondays. The hit single "Fat Neck" by their follow-up band, Black Grape, is a tribute to him. He also appeared in Puressence's pop video, "Walking Dead", with Happy Mondays dancer Bez.
== Manchester United team photos ==
On 18 April 2001, before Manchester United's Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Power walked onto the pitch in team colours as an impostor, and took up a position next to player Andy Cole. Although he was noticed by other players, he managed to remain in place for the team photo.〔
