shireowl Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sat watching the match Manchester United v Crystal Palace and suddenly Eric Cantona serves justice on a racist fan who shouted flip of back to France you mother flipping frog … incredible scenes then and sent shockwaves around the world not sure things have changed with racism from certain fans who think it’s ok to abuse players .

matthefish2002 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Think it's a lot different at games today. At time shouting you French so and so at Eric Cantona was just seen as part of the day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Love how Cantona only regrets that he didn't kick him again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sloppy use of the term racism. It’s xenophobic not racist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Was listening to G Nev talk about Cantona today Said he was a big player for big moments - an icon Did he get into the Prem Hall of Fame yet ? or will this hold him back somehow ?

Some things sang 25 years ago and no one batted an eyelid would get you arrested today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I follow a Palace fan on Twitter who does a football blog. Apparently many palace fans link Cantona’s kung fu kick to the stabbing and running over of a palace fan before the fa cup semi between the clubs a few months later.

HighworthOwl Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Remember listening to this one the radio as a football mad kid and hearing “and Cantona is in the crowd!” Staying up to watch the news and see it. Bloody seagulls following the trawler caused that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
