It was January 1995. Manchester United traveled to Crystal Palace as Champions, having won the last two Premier League seasons. Their talisman; Eric Cantona, as fiery as he was skillful. That day, a sequence of events led to one of the most shocking and violent moments in the history of the Premier League; Paul Ansorge retells of Cantona's kung-fu kick.

Did you see the game? I did. EC was kicked non stop from the first whistle. The ref gave gave him no protection. EC finally lost his cool. One of the offenders was a guy called Southgate. The other was a guy called Shaw. So, for once, I agree with AF. The hooligan in question was not 11 rows back, but had run down to the front. The Kung fu kick was a wonder to see. And Eric should have been applauded for show the county how to deal with the hooligan problem.

I'd imagine its the same with artist and paparazzis or comedians with hecklers. Their line of work makes it so they have an image to protect but most cases they should have the right to do something about being harassed.
Spectacular player, lack of discipline. SAF really made everyone shine regardless of their attitude. Every player had their own unique characteristic.

I had that match against Liverpool on Video - "Return of the King" it was bright red.

People think they are untouchable. Think how many people play up in other people's workplaces etc knowing they are safe because the person won't retaliate and lose their job etc. This fan got a nice reminder that not everyone is going to turn a blind eye to abuse.
“As flies, we are to wanton boys for the goats” 😂😂😂
do fenerbahce at the season 2013/14 champions Ersun Yanal( the coach at fenerbahce at that time) tactics explained.
Cantona is so freaking deep man...
I was 17 year old when I saw that. I didn't care about football before that, and I've been a Man Utd supporter since then.
What a legend...

This is Paul from NQAT!

King eric
There is a lot of detail missing here, especially about the guy on the receiving end of Cantona's boot
The man was a Red devil both literally and figuratively
I support Cantona 100% on this incident. Hear his perspective before deciding
Bill Burr did a stand up piece about a basketball game where fans were abusing players and throwing stuff at them. So some of the players went into the crowd and beat hell out of them. This reminded of the Cantona incident.

Iconic, leader, winner, charismatic, rock star, talented, forthright, maverick, passionate, rebel, free spirit, Legend. One of the most deep, sensitive and intelligent people in sport (and like an artist, a true provocateur). But I know the majority of people won't see it, cause they are just like journalists "seagulls seeking sardines" and nothing more.

I myself love that seagulls trawler line. Just says that and walks off. Nobody's sure of the meaning. Brilliant.
Ooh Ahh Cantona.... say Ooh Ahh Cantona
Cantona took Utd to the next level, when he retired players like Keane, Scholes and Beckham were very young and yet to reach their potential. Eric punched above his weight and maybe if he played for Milan or Juventus with better experienced players he would be regarded as one of the greatest instead of Zidane. Zidane failed to take Juventus to the next level losing back to back champions league finals and only 2 Seria A Titles to show for it. Zidane was also a passenger at the 98 WC only turning up in the finals but made to be France’s saviour.
So no comments on how the hooligan was also doing a Nazi salute (which can be seen on the flying kick picture) and heckling xenophobic slurs at Cantona?

Thanks Eric, I wish I did it
Eric Dier approves
What the fuck..His happiest moment in football? LOL
If he'd tried the same move with a ball flying at him he'd probably have scored.
Zlatan wants to be Cantona so bad
Dowie was a striker.
But why did he kick him? Do we know what the 'fan' said to him? I mean did I miss something on the video or it doesn't mention it

Cantona has a love of surrealism, so it may not have any direct meaning. However, you could read it as him being the Trawler, the press as the seagulls and his words as the sardines. He made a quote at a recent awards dinner that was equally baffling.
Why did you include Ireland in the map?
