"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much." (1995)


Following his assault at Selhurst Park the Man Utd number seven was disciplined and given community service as part of his punishment. Thrown to the media the moody star sat silently through the press conference as club officials kept reporters up to speed with the development of the story.

Then something stirred, Cantona spoke and uttered his most famous quote, taking a long sip of water in between, which compared his hounding by the media to the daily routine of hungry seagulls. Merci beaucoup Eric.
