cantona28.jpg
 
Help us out here yeah?

What exactly do you want to know?
 
Looks like an old picture of Cantona, whats the big deal?
 
Well it's a picture of Alex Ferguson and Eric after he signed for us, but I wanted to know who the bloke is on the right that's been pasted on to Fergies body? And why? No big deal, just wondered!

Or Nimes ;) Marseille wear white and blue. So I reckon its Montpellier, they wear red/white/blue don't they?

That is not the north stand. If it was dis-coloured, surely the red on his top would be too... besides, its too 'shallow' to be the NS. My money's on Montpellier.

Blythy, it IS the North stand, before the 1996 renovation. You can just about make out a couple of the letters in the seating. Do you not remember the day Eric signed for us?

Not in font of a blue seat stand holding a blue shirt no.

Those letters could say anything, such as 'Montpellier HSC' ;) It's not the north stand, accept it ;)
 
mufc... why did you delete your original post saying it was the north stand? Is that because you believe it is not ? ;)
 
To be honest, the upper letters do look like H and E, end the right bottom like a T, can't see if the left bottom is an I, and the advertising board just to the right of the exit could be the yellow and blue of the Ian Skelly board. Just can't see whether it says "SHARP electronics" over the exit.

It could be a picture doctored to look as if he is signing for that Scottish Club. ;)
 
The stairs leading up to the upper exit are also in the right place.
 
That could also be a SHARP ad board under the T also, right colours. :)
 
Sorry Blythy, but that is the old NS if you look closely at it. ;)
 
Right, the bloke is Bobby Wilson, Ross County boss :rolleyes: I guess it must Old Trafford, "blued" <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Well said, it is blayantly obvious that it was Cantona signing for United. The guy is hardly gonna wear the same tracksuit top when he signs for every club, he wore that top when he signed for United.

Someone has dropped this in to paint\photoshop and edited it for some strange reason!!
