'He went up to each of the three members of the disciplinary board and told them they were an idiot' - beautiful

Cantona is a proper bad boy. Though he is foul-mouthed, aggressive and violent, he never seemed (to me atleast) like a malicious or generally bad person.

As a Liverpool fan, it kills me to see the list of people we passed on signing: Ronaldo, Michael Laudrup, Cantona, Dani Alves. Glad that we signed up Salah and Van dijk when we got a chance. Anyway, there are a few players from our bitter rivals I always respect and admire: Catona, Sir Charlton, Ryan giggs, Rio ferdinand etc. Especially Cantona and Giggs in the 90s were tearing teams apart. They used to link up so well, and with Beckham on the right wing swinging in the perfect crosses. The United team in the 90s was a class apart. Props to Sir Alex for trusting his youth and giving raw talents like Cantona a chance when no one didn't.

Not watched any Getafe games but I assume the low possession and pass accuracy means they're playing a route one style. Like others have mentioned, Leicester won the league playing a similar way, an if that is how Getafe have had success then it's probably good for Spanish football in general, to have more varied styles of play throughout the league.

I'm an Arsenal fan, but he is truely a mythical figure. The way he came back in the 95/96 season and just dominated, the arrogance, the fight, the flair, the artistry and the philosopher. He went to Utd and owned the place. I'd love to sit with him and talk football, the arts and politics. He truely was one of a kind......

Possibly depends where in the world they were and who they were.

If it was a black Englishman...Then maybe you're right. It would also be down to talent and their capacity to deliver on the big stage.

@@fbaallied The Colombian that was shot dead for scoring an own goal at World Cup USA 94 wasn't black. Would they have tortured him first if he was black and then killed him? What in God's name has his colour got to do with his punishment? Yes he would have suffered added racial abuse, but the punishment would have been the same. Even back then the law was the same for a black premier league footballer as it was for white players. Rio Ferdinand is not really black or white. Does that mean his ban would have been halved if he was totally white and doubled if he was totally black? I hate how people have to bring in race into things. Who cares what colour his skin is? Evra never got a worse punishment because he was black for kicking that dude. Saurez never got an undercooked punishment for being racist just because he was a white man doing it. Racism is racism whatever colour you are and whoever you point it at. If you need to bring race into it then that becomes suspicious to me!!!!

@ShaneJoshua1980 Great comment man. I feel like that about some of your players. I came to despise Arsenal due to our rivalry, but god did you have some players!!! Henry, Bergkamp, Viera, Petit, Overmars, Parlour (yes I said it ha ha), Pires, Wright, Merson, Annelka, Kanu...the list goes on. I love to see mutual repsect of another club's players. Like Henry changed the Premier League after Cantona changed it. Henry was just unreal and looked like it took no effort...plus that goal against us over Barthez...Bastard ha ha.

I think he came 3rd in the Ballon D'or in 1993 just behind Baggio and Bergkamp..that shows just how good of a footballer he was.

It's funny comparing Bergkamp and Cantona. I mean people say Bergkamp is more talented and it might be true but no way could Bergkamp have inspired a team the way Cantona did. Bergkamp would often disappear. Cantona had the grace, skill and touch like Bergkamp but he was also a winner.

Just goes to show what sir Alex knew what we didn’t! What a wise man he is

Rumours are he left Leeds not because Fergie persuaded Wilkinson to sell, but cos he was banging another team mates wife!

Once a lifetime player but a typical Frenchman 😅. I dated a Parisian girl , she was insane 🤣

There are no players like Cantona anymore - nowadays we have players who are more like products who present themselves, market themselves and speak for themselves almost interchangeably with stars from other global sports. Someone as familiar with Camus as Cantona was would hold these insects in nothing but contempt. There'll be more skilled players, the media will manufacture bigger legends, more GOATS, but I doubt we'll ever see a player with balls the size of Cantona's again

OOH AH CANTONA! I SAID OOH AH CANTONA!

He was a crucial part of the rise and dominance of Manchester United which they had for 20 years. What a player.

Remember seeing clips of him playing in french football. Some great goals interspersed with him booting someone!!

Cantona after football has been just as interesting.

Looking back it's funny how people questioned Fergie choices there's a video titled the day Cantana signed for United where United fans really doubt the decision and one says, "forget all that ooh ahh Cantana, we won't be singing that here at old Trafford" if only he knew.

Your videos have a wonderful relaxing quality to them.

Great vid

Cantona won every year's premier league's title in 5yrs apart from that throat incident one

Genius

Eyyyyy Cantona basically started from my club, AJ Auxerre ⚪🔵

.... and the rest is HISTORY!

Please do a tactics video on Conte's all-conquering Juventus :)

Cantona won the championship title in every full season he played in England. The only time he didn't was when he was banned for half a season. That's phenomenal.

So is that how the Cantona chant started.

The problem in France is that we can raise the best players in the world, even when they have hard personas like Cantona, but when these guys become stars and happen to have personalities bigger than life then there are no french clubs good enough for them. Marseille has the management of a greek or a turkish club, Lyon has no appeal and will always be a sidekick, Monaco is a tax haven which will never have a winning mentality and Paris will always fall on the last case of the stairs. Our only hope is that Mbappé breaks the curse

Pelé and Eusébio are two great players who have been highly regarded both in their home country and the world. Ronaldinho is a Balon d'Or winner and a legend at Barcelona. On the other front, Zidane is from an algerian origin and you really do not want to get into that discussion in France, however he is widely considered as one of the best French players of all time and a legend at Real and to a smaller degree Juventus. Cantona helped them win 4 titles and their first one in 26 years. If someone like Salah helps Liverpool win their first title in 30 years, you can bet that he will remain a legend in that club forever.
