There are some red faces at the Evening Standard this week after a spot of picture confusion.
In the paper’s Homes & Property supplement, Richard Compton Miller reported in his “Who’s Moving” column that England soccer boss Fabio Capello had now settled in to his £4,500-a-week two-bedroom flat in Knightsbridge and his “gangly figure” was now familiar to those living in the neighbouring Duke of York Square, where the bespectacled Italian takes his wife to dine in a local restaurant.
Sadly, his face is not familiar enough to the Standard’s picture desk, which illustrated the story with a picture of Irish builder Michael McElinney, a Capello lookalike. Compton Miller says of the mix-up: “A remarkably small number of readers spotted the difference.”
