Photo ‘proof’ time travellers EXIST as ‘flip phone’ is spotted during 1962 World Cup final celebrations
FOOTIE fans have claimed there is a 'time traveller" lurking in this iconic picture of the 1962 World Cup final celebrations.
The historical image of Brazil's captain Mauro Ramos triumphantly raising the trophy in Chile has more than meets the eye.
As well as being remembered as an eventful day on the pitch, the final has now ignited a bizarre debate after appearing to have been infiltrated by a fan from the future.
If you look closely at the gaggle of reporters and photographers trying to get close to Ramos, you may spot something that doesn't quite fit in.
Directly in front of the centre back, a person's arm can be seen wielding a recording device - that looks suspiciously like a flip phone.
And the strange object even caught the eye of the victorious Brazilian, who appears to be staring right at it.

The bizarre feature in Ferdinand George Waldmüller's stunning creation titled 'The Expected One' caused quite the stir.
But experts rubbished the suggestion, insisting there is a simple explanation behind it.
Another conspiracy has also been circulating, claiming there is something unusual in this 1930s mural of a scene from 17th century colonial America.
The 1937 painting by Umberto Romano seems to include a man staring at a smartphone, baffling historians.
Some sleuths online have offered this mural as proof that time travellers have taken modern technology back to the past.
Others however, say the object could be a mirror, a commonly traded item in 17th century New England.
