"I felt the ghosts of the past in Manchester United....some players it can paralyse them....but for me it was helpful. I felt the energy of the ghosts, I felt the energy of the past, it makes me even stronger" And THAT is why Eric was The King.

**IS The King** Although we may be on the cusp of another King Erik soon🎉🎉

If ever there was an ex-player who deserved a statue at Old Trafford, it's King Eric. Without question, the fans' all-time favourite. There will never be another like Cantona.

Couldnt agree more, especially for someone who was born late 80s like me! We needed a hero to push us for the long awaited title and he needed a place to call home. Made for each other

The man does nothing by accident. It beautiful subtle message of unity with us.

As a fourth generation United fan from Manchester I love the fact that Eric (my favortite player of all time) picked the gold and green shirt as those colors symbolise our history and identity and it is way past time for us to regain our identity! GLAZERS OUT!!!!!!!

This is, without doubt, the BEST EPISODE YET! Ooh, Aah, Cantona!

I'm a City fan but Eric is a big memory of my childhood. Remember him at Leeds and he was good, but he was something else at Utd. The confidence/arrogance/style was another level. Reminds me of Ibrahimovic a lot. Could watch that chip and lob over and over.

​@@padfla7239as I love Cantona for what he was but Ibrahimovic was another level.

The reason I fell in love with the beautiful game… ‘66 was a great year for English football… Eric was born’

"I felt the energy of the ghosts and it made me stronger" Love that, Cantona is a poet!

Unbelievable player and what a character. One of the true greats.

In the 90s Eric was Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe all rolled into one, multiplied by 100. The King.

King Eric, truly one of a kind. And a prime example as to why a dressing room MUST have players with character in it.

Not even looking for attention but my dad who is going through cancer treatment at the moment, cantona was his favourite player. I was born in 1990 so I remember vaguely bits from his time at United. Seeing this has made me abit emotional not gona lie it’s just mad how they chose cantona at this time. One of my fondest memories of my childhood was when me, my dad & brother went to giggsy’s testimonial against Celtic & cantona came on as a sub and no one knew he would be appearing, safe to say my dad was ecstatic when he came on, thanks bt sport for doing this, I’ll be showing my dad this when I see him tomorrow!

Best wishes to your father. Eric was never, ever in a hurry. The game revolved around him. He magnetised it. The nearest player to him probably is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but he hasn't had the profound impact upon a club and its culture, identity, quite like Cantona.

As a Sheffield Wednesday fan this upsets me greatly

Cantona is the rock n roll of the football world

Absolute Legend #7

Growing up as a United/Cantona fan I use to style my hair like his and pop the collars of my P.E. Kit up like Cantona..even if we were made to play rounders. Legend.

As a lifelong Liverpool supporter, I've taken to Eric with like. He broke my heart in 1996, in the FA Cup Final, and never held it against him. The only exception I take is his stamp on John Moncur at County Ground, I believe around 1994. He was one Special Footballer.

King Cantona 7 ♥️

Choosing the Gold and Green Newton Heath shirt... he's always one of us

Best ever Premier league player; hands down. Extremely influential to sport & culture. Those too young to remember have no idea of the impact he made on English football.

Might have been influential, but nowhere near the best player ever. He played in a league low on quality. He vanished from the big CL and French tournament games.

He is the most magnificently French man to ever walk the face of the earth, a legend.

One of the most artistic skillful players ever. He could drag the team with him to win games. One of my favourite footballers of all time. An absolute Legend.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Growing up, Eric Cantona was my favourite player. There is no one else like him. Absolute Legend. And the shirts; wow!

My Hero! Being a teenager when King Eric and Utd were dominating those early days of the PL,it was a magical time.

Fascinating bloke. We’ve seen some truly iconic players in the English game and he’s right up there with them all.

Eric is the man! Icon on utd and the premier League. Plus the interviewer is class. Allows the guests to speak and asks very good questions

Wel drink a drink a drink for Eric the king the king the king he’s the leader of our football team he’s the greatest centre forward that the worrrrrrrrld have ever seeen ec7🏆

Eric doesn't have the most appearances, most assists or goals, but he will always be a legend because of his presence and aura -- he gelled everyone together without mentioning that he wanted to lead. Everyone automatically looked up to him.

Retired to early still had two top seasons in him.

LEGEND

Larger than life. Eric the King

Long live the King

Enjoyed this. What a lovely guy and what a player he was.

My favourite player that ever lived

The king 👑

Eric Cantona the king of Manchester who just oozes that permanent class & aura. Love the fact he picked out two United shirts one bring the old Newton Heath colours. A true hero of Manchester one who completely changed everything when he joined us. Me fave all time player

What a F in legend

Love how he picked the green and gold he knew what he was doing absolute legend!!

As an Owl I still can't believe we let him slip through our fingers. Still I got to see his only 'appearance' for us at the Sheffield Arena in a 5-a-side game against the mighty Baltimore Blast 🤣

Eric Cantona what a legend, as a young teenager eric was my idle , what a presence on the pitch , oh ah Cantona a say oh ah Cantona 😊

he is a legend for sure

As an expat from Lancashires who lives in France, I have to say Eric is typically French. We English give the French stick but the average French bloke is a lot like an average English bloke (except they can’t dance :)). Eric knows how he left Leeds……he was a ladies’ man….on his own patch.

I love Cantona. I'll say that upfront. And I'm not a Utd fan. The thing I would say is that in terms of football he was a good...not great player. He had skills yes but he lacked pace. Utd fans love him because he led a team of young players to Utds first PL title and other domestic trophies. But he was largely ineffective in Europe. He was the right player at the right time for Utd. And beyond football he was a cultural icon. I love Cantona for many more reasons than what he achieved in football.

Our best ever

After this I went to watch Cantona's return against Liverpool 😍

The KING👑

When I think of Eric I always picture that black viewcam kit

Gutted would love to have gone to the museum to meet eric. His english is spot on now. Long live the king.
