A clip is on YouTube showing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra making an obscene outburst using a similar n-word to the one at the centre of his racism case against Luis Suarez.
The footage is from Canal+ documentary Le Periple Rouge about his former club Monaco's march to the 2004 Champions League final.
WATCH AT 35:29 - 35:45Evra appears making a foul-mouthed rant in his hotel room before the semi-final against Chelsea.
The programme is in French but Evra, after subtitles for Chelsea players Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Frank Lampard appear on screen, says in clear English, 'Mother-f****** n******', along with other muffled profanities.
It will be uncomfortable for club and player that Evra's obscenities are available for public viewing in the fall-out from the Suarez case.
Ron Atkinson lost his job as ITV's lead football pundit after that Monaco home victory against Chelsea, following racist comments about Marcel Desailly that were made off air but picked up by Middle East networks.
