    The true King of France and Manchester. The only French man who led hundred of thousands of Brits singing ‘la marseillaise’ with respect.

    Goosebumps..........The single best thing that ever happened in the Premier League Era. No-one had more impact than Cantona, the most underrated player in PL history and the most loved French person ever in the UK and all around the world!!! God Bless you Eric...

      How can you say he was under rated ? Won the old 1st Div won 1st prem title got United the Double Double! And most loved French person in uk was Henry. But Cantona got me to love this sport he is a god to me

    • @davidmarchant9386

    • @KryptonitetoallBS
      @KryptonitetoallBS Před 3 lety +11

      @@davidmarchant9386 Ok I'll take your points in order. 1. His achievements are unsurpassed in the PL. No-one has had the effect Cantona had with style and trophies, so he should be rated by everyone as supreme but some fans still to this day don't appreciate just how good he was........So that is why he was underrated BY SOME!!!
      2. Henry is not as loved as Cantona so immediately your statement is flawed. Manchester United are a far bigger club than Arsenal and have a million times more fans so OBVIOUSLY Cantona is loved more than Henry.
      So there you go.....NO oxymoron. A player can be the most loved and most underrated at the same time. It's not rocket science.

    I had a league match ticket book for the H stand (Now part of the SAF North Stand) for 4 years between 1991-1995. The best years. Cantona's header winner at Old Trafford in the 1-0 win over rivals Blackburn, was the last time I saw him play live, cause he kicked the Palace fan in the next game. I like to believe he knew it was my last season watching and kicked the fan in frustration, ha!

    His retirement happened at exactly the right. The great player he was he just did not do it in European games for Man United. His departure opened the door for teddy sheringham. Again his availability at Tottenham came exactly at the right time when cantona was retiring. I don't think Man United would have done the treble with cantona and without sheringham. It was the other way round and they did it 🙂. Things really do happen at the right time and for a specific reason.
