No, you don't get to attack someone because they say something you don't like, obviously. Because that would put incredibly dumb people like you in serious danger, and we have to protect those too stupid to protect themselves.

We love King Cantona. As another football legend said ‘chat shit. Get banged’ lol.

He did the right thing!

Cantona simply reminded the hooligan of a basic rule, "actions have consequences." GGMU

In a strange way, after the attack, opposition football fans who hated Cantona suddenly starting liking him despite playing for Utd.

Legend Cantona!

Part of Cantona’s ability to stay out of trouble when he came back was the other players just left him alone out of respect. They’d probably all wanted to do that to someone in the crowd at one point or another and decided Cantona had earned the right to live in peace…

I was 10 years old in 96 when I first watched the EPL. Back in Malaysia we didn't have live matches yet but we would have the EPL highlights every week showing all the goals of the week. Even at a young age and not knowing much of football, when I saw Cantona playing, you knew you were watching a very special player.

Have never heard anyone say anything bad about King Cantona

Sir Les tells it like it is.

Always like Cantona as well as some of his peers at the time, I remember the rivalry with Man U and Newcastle at times, also Liverpool's sensational scoring tandem. Something about Cantona was special much like Pele was a notch above many of his peers. Cantona had what I felt was a great football mind, great vision and ability to read plays as they were developing and put himself into a position to either assist or score. I remember when he left and #7 was passed down to some kid named Beckham. I was like, who the f' is this guy? Well, he turned out to be pretty decent too, I reckon. No doubt with some of Cantona's tutelage to help guide him. Like so many, I felt the fan deserved it. You could see them hurling constant insults. I would really appreciate the sporting authorities to really crack down on fan abuse.

People don’t understand that Cantona was at the beginnings of the foreign transfer market era. Not only was it unusual to have multiple foreign transfers on a team it was unusual to have a foreign transfer as multi talented. Cantona had the English league y the throat with his playing. Only MU Was as happy about that.
