21 (!) Years Ago Today - Kung Fu Cantona

Magnificent stuff,lots of moral hand wringing at the time but everyone thought it was superb really and only equalled by the memorable "when ze seagull follows ze trawler" quote at the later press conference.

21 years!? Makes me feel old. What an event that was.

When it got to court matey boy in the crowd claimed to have shouted "off you go, Frenchie, it's an early bath for you!"

Or similar.

Sometimes you just have to admire pure, unalduterated bare-faced cheek when you encounter it.

Legend, great footballer. It cracks me up when people show faux horror that an international football player isn't a well educated, well rounded, polite and civilised individual, they are what they are, expect anything more than good football from a pro footballer and it's a good chance you will be disappointed. Cantona never disappointed (unless we were unforch enough to play him).

As EJH says - frightening how long ago that was!!
