It is.

During a charity match.

An absolute legend of the game too. If he'd appeared for them we'd never hear the end of it.

Filippo Maniero.

He was apparently known in Italy as "The Thorn of Inter" due to the amount he scored against them. I'm pretty sure we signed him simply because we had drawn Inter in the Champions League. And then he never played a game for us.

Was a 'legends' match circa 1975 of the Iron Curtain team. I've seen a photo of the rest of the team somewhere. 

Older Bears will probably be able to confirm.

It was 1960 and Crerand scored their equaliser with 5-10 mins to go ?

Yip ... odd photo indeed.
Was on twitter a few weeks back.  Some guy was putting "tops logos" (like Admiral, McEwans etc etc for other teams) onto legends in their strips from bygone.  Some of them just looked ..... odd.
