      The expanded Manchester City squad, featuring
      extra superstar players and 'Where's Wally?', that was in Aris
      Thessaloniki's programme. Photograph: Public domain


      Wine glasses were clinked, bread was broken and palms squeezed. It
      was an opportunity for new contacts and new friendships as dignitaries
      from Manchester City and Aris Thessaloniki settled down for a pre-match function ahead of Tuesday's Europa League tie in Greece.Then
      an Aris official offered Garry Cook a sneak preview of the match
      programme and it was then, as City's chief executive did a double-take,
      that it became apparent something was wrong.Instead of using the
      official City team photograph the Greek club used a doctored version,
      with another five rows added to make room for just about every superstar
      footballer on the planet. Wayne Rooney, Kaká and Zlatan Ibrahimovic
      could all be seen, resplendent in blue. Lionel Messi, Fernando Torres,
      Didier Drogba and Mesut Ozil were also to be found. It was a 60-man
      squad, more in keeping with the album cover for The Beatles' Sgt
      Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.The City delegation made it
      clear to their hosts they could see the funny side. But the Aris
      directors were so embarrassed they decided on the spot that the
      programme had to be pulped, regardless of the costs.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 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 Ibrahimovic. 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.
