Dr. Bapswent Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Blithering idiot. (on SKy 1) Good footballer mind you. But full of guff and happy to spout it to anyone who will listen.

loveofthegame Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Eric Cantona is Eric Cantona and can therefore say whatever the **** he wants in my book! Hero. If he wasnt so eccentric he wouldnt quite be so much a hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercrutch Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Fair enough if it was a scouser or something but it was a Palace fan FFS. I mean, come on, how gay is that ? You make a good point. On the other hand if he had kung fu kicked a Millwall fan .... Found this story whilst looking for a pic of a Millwall fan. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/4086195.stm James Harrison, a Liverpool fan, makes Cantona look a bit gay. Was in the Millwall end during a game and punched a fan in the face whilst shouting 'Liverpool'. Now you have to be mentally mental to do that. He seemingly was chased and battered. Surprising that.

Erik Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 My favorite EVER photo in football. Just have a look at some of the guys faces around him! ****in awesome! In my opinion the ONLY true modern day "legend". Yes, there have been plenty other world class players since his his hay day, your Ronaldo's, Ronaldinhio's, Henry's and such like....... but for me a legend is not judged PURELY on footballing ability. True legends are remembered for being a wonder to watch, but also for the way they conduct themselves, their attitude and the way the handle themselves. Things like the kung fu kick are what make the Cantona legend something that very very very few folk can compete with. Henry - truly amazing footballer. Cantona - true footballing legend.

Coco Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Cantona is a true football Legend, the best bit being he only cost Man Utd ?1m, surely the best buy in football ever? He was a tremendous player, wonderful to watch with all the skills/arrogance/nastiness/good habits he brought. I remember reading how much the United players were in awe of him. He scored some absolutely fabulous goals for United. But he wasn't quite good enough to be considered in the highest level groups of footballers. Didn't have the pace required and didn't do it in the European Cup or World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Would have to class Zidane in a similar way as well. Once again, sublime footballer, complete nutjob! Perhaps.... although I dont think Zidane had the same presence or arrogance as Cantona did. Hell, even the way the boy wore his collare spoke a thousand words about the way he was!! Cantona was a very "in yer face" player - Zidane wasnt really like that (well except for that one occasion where he took that phrase very literally lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_jambo_2006 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wonderful player. True legend. Some truely wonderful goals. And ok, he kicked some fan. Maybe not the best thing he ever did. But what did the guy say to provoke him? Tbh I'd rather get kicked in the chest than be spat on (like that Diouf did to a fan vs Celtic one year).

Seem to remember Keane saying in his autobiography that off-camera Cantona was just an ordinary bloke who liked a beer with his team mates, but as soon as he was on camera he put on the surly, enigmatic act for a laugh!
