Until the court case I didn't realise it was illegal.....

Quite agree with him. Though Dixie Dean's action in a similar situation was even better - he knocked the bloke spark out!

Eric Cantona is only second in my estimation to Zinedine Zidane for headbutting Materazzi in the chest in the 2006 World Cup Final. Sometimes you just have to stop being a footballer and start being a man.

In my opinion Zidane let his whole team down with a moment of complete selfishness.

He looks like Saddam Hussain now, just before his execution.

If he was a man he would of headbutted him on the nose and decked him. Bottled it. Cantona went airborne with both feet into a crowd, different level of intent and commitment.

Eric also had the grace to bow out as a legend, Zidane whimpered out like a wet rag.

Standing up for his sister.

Seems that an evening with Eric wasn't that popular http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-39049627

Some footballers will disgrace themselves to trigger a reaction that could see their team at an advantage. I imagine Knockaert has received such treatment, like at Deepdale recently if you remember his reaction.

I have to agree to the above poster though, he did let his team down as no matter how abhorrent the goading was at a delicate time, he has to keep his head.

Maybe some of you can make the next Cantona one man show, and show your appreciation for the fruit cake.
Should be plenty of tickets available.

I would put them both behind Gerry Armstrong who smacked that gobshite at Southwick.

In my honest opinion, what Cantona did that night was fully justified.

What happened after as a direct result of this, in my opinion, was a terrible tragedy.

Sure, but it wasn't a big game was it?

Nope. That was quality.
