Wait, Is That Leighton Baines At The 1970 World Cup?

Some eagle-eyed Twitter user managed to spot a dead-ringer for Everton and England defender Leighton Baines in the crowd during the 1970 World Cup.

We believe Baines travelled back some time during 2008 (wearing his club colours of course) to get some inspiration from Brazil captain Carlos Alberto before returning to become the best fullback in the Premier League.
