Title: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Friday, June 5, 2009, 22:27:32 Historical moment in football imo. Anyway do any of you remember where you were when you first saw or heard about it.
Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 22:28:47 That was 1995! Time flies
News at 10. Should've been in bed, school in the morning. :) Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, June 5, 2009, 22:36:15 I was working for NatWest on a project in London and staying in a hotel for the best part of 3 months bored shitless. My first kid was 1 year old and I was missing her and my wife like mad.
That brightened up another Groundhog Day. Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: yeo on Friday, June 5, 2009, 23:42:12 Its hardly an "Elvis is dead" moment.I just saw it on telly probably.
Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Friday, June 5, 2009, 23:49:35 But you have a drug riddled head. Most people i speak to remember.
Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: yeo on Friday, June 5, 2009, 23:56:23 hahah its true.
Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: jonny72 on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 00:34:19 I still think Cantona should have got a life ban for it. I don't care what the fan said, absolutely no justification for what he did. What would have happened if a player shouted something abusive at the crowd and a fan ran on to the pitch and drop kicked him? A life ban. The same as that French cunt should have got.
Its also the reason I hate Man Utd fans. They treated him like a hero when he returned, rather than the piece of shit scumbag that he was. Same as they did with Ronaldo. Wankers. Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 01:12:56 Ol Eric is putting in an appearance at Bath City Football Club tomorrow apparently (well, later today). I'd go and stalk him if I wasn't so lazy.

Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 08:23:45 I was thinking about this one the other day as well, DRS. Probably because of all the Cantona stuff.
Was listening to it on 5 live. Could not believe what I was hearing. The FA and the PL have banned/withold all rights to that piece of film and wont allow it to be played on television. The quality of clips on youtube is rubbish, but there is one by a french poster that has the whole thing as it happened on sky sports. Il try and find it when I get home from work. People forget how involved Ince was. He steamed right into their fans, but it wasnt caught on camera, or at least shown on the live feed of sky sports. I dont know if it was intuition or just luck. But Cantona was extremely fortunate that the bloke was a proper NF, skinhead who had previous for racist battery and holding up a petrol station. I think when people heard that, Cantona got a lot more sympathy, which allowed him to return. Cantona continues to refer to the fan as a 'hooligan', but he was at the match with his mum. He was a racist, but not really a hooligan. But it is suprising the FA did let him return. Must have been so close to being banned from English football. Whatever you say, it was a piece of pure raw emotion, pretty rare from players in football nowadays. Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: sheepshagger on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 09:46:23 I think Cantona is ace......
Fair play to him for sticking to his guns, fair play to him for playing with all the media with his sardine story... I think he was possibly the most gifted footballer I have ever seen play - and the fact that he wasn't scared to get involved means he was a legend for me... Although 1 caveat in this is that I think he was a complete wanker when it came to the CG and John Moncur.....At that point he was a dirty French Cunt !!! Hmmmmm - I think I find myself being a bit of a hypocrite !

I think when people heard that, Cantona got a lot more sympathy, which allowed him to return. Lets not forget that Cantona had previous as well - how many players had he stamped on at that point?

Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 11:03:08 That was quality stuff from Cantona...hate all things ManUre mind, though any fella that Ken Loach wants to make a film about must have something going for him.

Lottery funded as well. Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 11:58:58 Those were also the days before Clive Tyldesley became a sycophantic wanker who thinks everything is brilliant.
If the same thing happened again he wouldnt know what to say, be too scared of offending Manchester United PLC. Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 12:55:25 Do you remember where you were Leefer
Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: leefer on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 18:48:28 Do you remember where you were Leefer Most certainly DRS. Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Danjackson10 on Saturday, June 6, 2009, 18:59:14 There should be more kung fu in football

Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: Doore on Sunday, June 7, 2009, 21:36:46 Always thought he was a liability. Also, and a bit unrelated, never really performed in Europe. (Just an observation, please do not think I am in any way associated with ManUre).
Title: Re: Eric Cantona-That Kung Fu kick Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, June 8, 2009, 00:24:58 I heard it on the radio and then watched it on MOTD...
Notice how Man Utd Players blamed everybody apart from the french cunt himself? Nothing changes.... The club blamed everybody but him too and eventually caved in and banned him themselves as they thought he would of (and should of) got a lifetime ban. If he had been playing for Rochdale he would never of kicked another ball again! I fucking hate Man United!! |
