Weird opinion it should have been a red card. Its players rolling around when it isn't a foul, simulation or completely over acting to get a player booked which is the issue. Not when a player crudely tries to break a player's legs and end their career.

Cantona has just said this is his favourite ever goal and Vinnie Jones and Tony Adams where his two toughest ever opponents
Look at the state of that pitch, the tackles are harder, no bitching and they play amazing football. This is Manchester United.
Eric England's favourite frenchman👌
Sums up Jones. Classless.
Vinny was on some show recently fishing with Gazza, and he said his regret in his career was that he played the hard man too much because he was a better player than that, but he wasn't, he was just a slogger, no one was afraid of him, and when he captained Wales one night in Holland, they were beaten 7-0, by the really good Dutch side, and were lucky it was only 7. Could have been 10 or 11. Vinny wasn't as good as he thought he was. Wimbledon were a great story though and he was a character.
i remember Vinnie watching this back in an interview, maybe with Frank skinner I can't remember. When Cantona got back up and spun around there was a brief moment when it looked like he might start something. Vinnie said "he thought about it!", or something like that. Then told a story about how all the lads used to go out when they were both at Leeds and Cantona was good fun on a night out.

They used to allow one of those in those days, but Vinny had already taken out Keane, so he earned his yellow card. He would hardly be on the pitch if he played now, he almost always did, what would be a red card tackle now, in the first five minutes😂
That Cantona goal was nonchalance at its best 😂👏
Glad that players like this - who used to kick people out of the game - have they themselves now been kicked out of the game in favour of players who can actually play football. Good to see them banished to the dustbin of history where they belong and grateful to have seen Messi who, unlike Maradona, hasn’t had his career and skill limited through persistent foulers.

@@DaSkonkPrior to the PL, the English Football League was very different to the other main leagues such as Italy and Spain but the world didn't know it. When Sky took over suddenly kids in the Far East, Africa, USA and further afield became much more familiar with the fast paced and physical game. Cantona was the first huge star of that era. He won the League 5 seasons out of 6 in England along with the FA Cup twice. He was the talisman of the biggest and most successful club at that time. Therefore there is a very strong argument to say that he was the single most influential player the PL has ever seen 👍

A coward's tackle. It wasn't a 50/50 where there's a chance of getting hurt. NO, he came in from the side and tried to do Cantona. He could easily have broken his leg or destroyed his ligaments. The fact he missed and only brought him down is pure luck. Jones was a pea brain of a footballer and as a man. I know I spent a week in his company in Magaluf in 1991.
