Eric Cantona isn’t impressed with how Mario Balotelli celebrates on the field, claiming he should be more spontaneous. Ridiculous myths circulate about the City striker, often with the press referring to the most mundane of actions as “madcap” and “bizarre”. This week Balotelli was asked to remove the hood from his hoodie at the Trafford [...]
When Eric Cantona of Manchester United did his amazing Kung-fu kick on an obnoxious Crystal Palace supporter seventeen years ago this month, I was there. By chance I was also an eye-witness thirty-five years earlier when United’s goalkeeper Harry Gregg spectacularly whacked a spectator at Luton Town in April, 1960, knocking him to the ground. That coincidence meant [...]
Eric Cantona has written to France’s elected mayors seeking 500 signatures needed to stand for the 2012 presidential vote.
Eric Cantona, who was a key figure in bringing Sir Alex Ferguson his first title with Manchester United in 1993, has talked about his relationship with our manager on the 25th anniversary of him taking charge of the club. “I remember my first meeting with Sir Alex when he wanted to sign me from Leeds [...]
Manchester City captain, Carlos Tevez, has repeatedly criticised our city since signing for the blues. He won’t be taking part in this weekend’s Charity Shield, having been given extended leave by his club. “There’s nothing to do in Manchester,” Tevez recently said. “There’s two restaurants and everything’s small. It rains all the time, you can’t [...]
The day after Manchester United clinched the Premier League title at Middlesbrough’s Riverside stadium it was a Bank Holiday. I spent it strolling nonchalantly in the sun down by the Riverside at Richmond, with my wife and daughter, wearing my old ’92-93 Champions T-shirt. It was a satisfying feeling knowing all that effort and commitment [...]
Cheer Up , Kevin Keegan On course, for United to now go on to win the Double, having secured their place at Wembley, much depended on how Newcastle handled the pressures of the league run-in.And we got a very significant clue only a few days after the semi-finals, in one of the all-time great Premiership [...]
I love it when Manchester United players show an interest in the club’s history. I want my idols to understand what it means and why it’s important, just like a supporter. That’s why Patrice Evra long ago endeared himself, with his immediate immersion in United’s past when he arrived in 2006, getting out books and [...]
Ahead of his testimonial in August, Paul Scholes has joked that he hopes Eric Cantona, who is returning with the New York Cosmos, steals the limelight on his big day. Scholes is known for being a painfully shy person and will welcome Cantona’s presence as it will take some of the attention away from him. [...]
New York Cosmos are making the trip to Manchester on August 5th for Paul Scholes’ testimonial.

Norwich has confirmed their place in the Premier League for next season so what better time to reminisce on a meeting between our two clubs from the first Premier League season. Playing at Carrow Road, United went 3-0 up within the first 20 minutes, thanks to three superb goals from Giggs, Kanchelskis and Cantona. Mark [...]
No more Beatles’ ‘When I’m Sixty Four’, I’m afraid. I officially became an Old Age Pensioner this week, which I celebrated by watching Manchester United on television beating Marseilles in the Champions League. It was a pretty good way to mark the occasion as it kept alive tentative hopes of United winning the Treble and [...]
In an interview with BBC Football Focus, Eric Cantona was asked about his project with NY Cosmos as well as his time at Manchester United. “I spent the best years for a footballer between 26 and 30 in Manchester, at the best club in the world,” he said. “Best players, the best manager, I was [...]
“It is a dream for some people to kick these kind of people (hooligans) — so I did it for them, so that they are happy,” said Cantona. “It’s a kind of freedom for them — so they speak about that incident because they felt something special physically. Maybe it was a different feeling. It [...]
