20 Years since the 'Cantona Kick'

Looking back on him now, when you watch something like this, you realise just how good he was.

And no, I'm not a United fan.

The guy was pure box office though, would love to have him back in the Premier League these days!

Great Video

Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up again

What would a player like him be worth in todays market, absolutely barking mad but pure genius

A nuts centre forward who's pretty good? Between £65 and £75 million according to Liverpool/Barcelona

You think that he is on a par with where Suarez is now then ability wise ?

I have to say that I would probably agree with that.

Was a real pleasure to watch him play it must have been absolutely fantastic to play alongside him.

Iirc he lived in a 3 bed semi in Didsbury or Chorlton and drove a VW Golf. Nuts.

Amazing video - thanks for posting - you forget some of the amazing goals.

Re the Suarez question above. I would say (IMHO) Cantona was a much better all round player than Suarez is (so far). Suarez scoring wins games whereas Eric playing won games - the goals were just the icing on the cake.

Brilliant player and often forgotten due to a relatively short and controversial career.
