    That 25 Jan 95 event changed the life and Career of Cantona forever, he was suspended for 8 month, he went home in France and started having Fun, neglecting training which lead to his retirement afterwards, he said: "I loved the game but I no longer had the passion to go to bed early, not to go out with friends, not to drink , not to do a lot of other things, the things I like in life".
    He was only 30....😢...
    In an Idyllic World Cantona would have won the World Cup 98 with France and Triple🏆in 99 with M.Utd and even the Ballon D'Or afterwards....

Not every human has the same thinking, his vision, passion & hungry to entertain the fans worldwide are awesomely rewarded, down the memory lane , we have not seen anyone charmingly starstruck, an poet, actor and a man we called God of football.

Unlike in the past, player like Trezeguet actually didnt have that great of a french language mastery. So yes, you are just being racist because you have no idea about what you're talking about. France has had african immigration for over 50 60 years, these guys are just as french as me. They grew up here, most of them have 0 links to their grandparents' country of origin. So grow up, and don't speak on subjects you have very little information about man, it's not a smart thing to do.
