- never saw a need to make a distinction between the two. For all the heat & noise surrounding his infamous Crystal Palace 'kung-fu kick' it is for the sheer exuberant beauty of his play that Eric Cantona is chiefly remembered by English football fans. At Leeds United he transformed the team into title contenders but became a true talisman at Manchester United where to this day fans sing of ' King Eric'. & yet the effortless style of Cantona's play could not hide a darker side to his temperament.

Marrying a deep knowledge of Cantona's impact on the pitch with soulful pin-sharp insight into the heart & inner thoughts of this most complex of characters this is nothing less than the definitive biography of a one-time rebel of the French game who rose to be the King of Old Trafford. 'I'd give all the champagne I've ever drunk to be playing alongside Cantona in a big European match at Old Trafford'
