One of my best Cantona moment is his return against the scousers all the french flags with Cantona on them and the constant sound of 'Ooh Ahh Eric Cantona' around Old Trafford was amazing, i dont have a 'favourite moment' because i loved every second of him being at the club. the man is the King of Old Trafford and no matter how young or old you are if you love United you love Cantona.

favorite Cantona quote though is "when i think football, i think Manchester United' LEGEND

what a friend we have in jesus, and his name is Cantona
Ooh Aah Cantona!

Great stuff and I agree - the man just had a presence about him. I think he was just the right man at the right time for United and the fans fell in love with his playing style and what he did for United.

15 years ago today Eric jumped into the crowd and stood up for racism in football. We salute you Eric.

Nothing i can say that hasn't already been said. A total legend, both in terms of ability and his presence on the field. A complete icon.

Cantona on the French National team:

Quote:
“It is a good thing that the France team returned when it did.

“Had they stayed out there another week, they would have ended up eating one another.

“Thankfully we have avoided an outbreak of cannibalism.”

Has to be cup final against the scousers. Not just because it was them but the ball almost tripped him up as he got his shot off.

I loved Cantona, still do, but Denis Law was king.
