Eric
Cantona Books |
Without
a doubt, the most inspiring Manchester United player ever.
Eric was bought from rivals Leeds, after he helped the Yorkshire
club win the Division One championship. He then graced Old
Trafford with his amazing talent and became a God. He won
Premiership title after Premiership title with the Reds and
was constantly in the media. He'll be remembered for kung-fu
kicking a Crystal Palace thug at Selhurst Park. Eric became
an even bigger hero with United fans for his mad moments.
He will always be worshipped at Old Trafford and his name
is still sang at many United games. Since retiring from football
he has gone on to success in the movies but many fans still
hope that one day he will be given a role at the Theatre of
Dreams. |
