Cantona was the Michael Jordan of the EPL in the 90s. 4 titles in 5 years. He would have won 5 in 5 if not for the kung fu kick. His game was never about goals. He has almost as many assists as goals. When he played, he made his teammates better. Whenever he played, he was the best player on the pitch and he knew it. Thats why he was so confident. He retired in 1997 yet fans still chant his name till today.

@@Bugdenl "Strikers don't hold up the ball" I take it with a statement like that you've only just start watching football recently. Strikers are the furthest forward so of course they hold up the ball and bring others in to play. Mark Hughes was brilliant at it, Andy Cole learned how to do it when he came to us. Alan Shearer did it at times, cos strikers are the focal and there is no one ahead of them they need to be able to play with their backs to goal and hold up the ball.

I think what makes Cantona special is that he had the full package of being a legend skills and character but it had to take 1 man to make him right who was SAF, and they both benefited each other with their greatness. And the fact that he wanted to retire early because he wanted to enjoy life still young tells you he’s a sentimental man. We’ll never ever have a player and a character like him anymore in football ever. Amazing video as always, loves the ending. It was beautiful

Cantona was more influential than Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic is great against mid table and lower league teams making a master to win leagues.

Cantona on the other hand is a big game player with the midas touch when required to deliver at the apex of football

Solskjaer, Neville, Beckham, Giggs, Schmeichel, Irwin, Keane.. Cantona was the 'Mourinho' of footballers, and soaked pressure like a black hole. His team performed admirably as he absorbed everything that was thrown at his 'team' and let his feet do the talking, no pun intended. What a man manger Alex Ferguson was. Also, who still remembers his iconic advertisement "Au Revoir" then flipping up the collars.

Cantona or Keane? Who transformed that team? The determination, the will to train longer and harder than the coaches asked, both those players instilled that through the class of '92, Keane the aggression and rage, Cantona the silky skills and training ground dedication. United would have won nothing without these two men, they were similar and so different, but they forged that dressing room into the weapon that Fergie's tactical and man management skills could aim at glory for decades. He was the King.

@dennismukoyatv
@dennismukoyatv Год назад
@@MrKevin1144 'Je ne sais quoi' is a French phrase transplanted into English to represent a special intangible quality that people know exist but none can actually put a finger to it. It is the equivalent of an aura which is evidently possessed by some people but absent in others. Using Eric Cantona's story as an example, you have heard of his exploits of success in Nimes, Marseille and Montpellier where he took them from backwater, nondescript sides to winning unexpected trophies merely by his sublime talent & presence. In England, you know all about Leeds United that in the 1980s to 2000s was a mid-table, First Division team at best & whose addition of Eric for only half a year transformed them into an all-conquering First Division champion in 1992. The next half year was spent in typical Cantona bedlam before taking his talents to United who coincidentally were in almost similar straits for most of Sir. Alex Ferguson's early doors, sometimes rising to the top five but lacked the genuine spark to fire them into Championship contention. In the first Premier League season on 1992 - 93, United found themselves in the surreal surroundings of Norwich City who were massively imbued with confidence to be still unbeaten by December, at full-throttle & some way at the helm. Aston Villa were equally making their bid at the epoch-defining, inaugural Premier League season. The rest as they say is history after Cantona joined Sir. Alex's side in January 1993 to replace crocked forward Dion Dublin, firing them into the inaugural Premier League title which was a catalyst for improbable success in future for then beleaguered Sir. Alex Ferguson. It speaks volumes that during his abbreviated 4½ season run at United interspersed with contention against personal demons, he still garnered 3 PL titles and 4 FA Cups with that golden quality. Recall the 1 title won at Leeds United. Post-retirement in 1997, he has gone on to be a respected personality as a thespian & movie star/ producer in France even winning accolades at the Cannes Film Festivals. That is 'je ne sais quoi' for you.

On behalf of my fellow Manchester United supporters, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Leeds United for signing Eric Cantona. Imagine if they hadn’t, he’d have left England and we may never had signed him and the success United & SAF enjoyed might never had happened either. For that, Thank You Leeds, y’all made it possible and y’all are part of our history forever and ever. Long Live The King! 🙏😂

My all time favourite player. He wouldn't be considered anywhere near the all time best in his spot. But if you could pick any player for a team that actually would play matches and needed to win them, he should be in that team, because like you said, he just had some weird way of making the team win with his willpower.

25th of January 1995 was the date that my fate was sealed. I was a massive Cantona fan and on a trip to Italy in 2005, found a shop that had a shirt with Eric Cantona doing his karate kick on the back and the letters B.F on the front. I thought it was hilarious, so bought it. To this day I have no idea why it had B.F on the front. Fast forward a couple of years and I posted a photo of me in that shirt on a dating website and my future wife liked what she saw, plus felt like it was a sign that it had her initials on the front. We've been married for 16 years and together 18 and it's all thanks to the man, the legend - Eric Cantona!

Some of his goals and passing where sublime but there is two moments of brilliance he did that if they went in they be some goals. The volley over the players head and then back again and I think that shot went wide, it was against Leeds, use to be on the start of Match of the day or the cross from the left hand side and he jumps up, chests it but does a 180 turn with the ball and Volleys it against the bottom of the Everton post

I cried when he quit. It coincided with one of the worst years of my life. Eric was ...... just the best player, not just for his goals,but the assists and his influence on the team. He is and always will be the King. Eric is still humble as a man. Not many ex players can match his humanity. They're all about image. Eric is a one off, there will never be another football player like him.
