[Football] Happy Cantona Day!

[brighton terra]

25 years ago today!

Disgraceful effort by Cantona. He didn't hit the cn*t nearly hard enough.

 

[butchy]

Vive la France!

When presented with appalling racism and intimidation, it’s no wonder that someone finally turned round to the 13,000 bullies and took them on.

Well done Eric, you stuck up for everything that is right.

Legend.

We were discussing this the other day. Nine month ban and 120 hours community work

The Del & Rodney tribute act in the top left corner look suitably shocked, but the very poor Uncle Albert looks less impressed.

Joey from friends has his hand on is mouth in startlement.

Could he have put it there earlier in reaction to the horrific volley of vile abuse aimed at Eric by some fat Neanderthal as he bounded past rows and rows of similarly simple people, down the steps to confront Cantona face to face. (Or foot to face as it transpired)!

Vincent Price top right looks appalled.

Amazing to think that those two young lads in the picture are now...

Whatever happened to The Hooligan?



8 April 2011


The Crystal Palace fan kicked by Eric Cantona in 1995 has been found guilty of punching the coach of his son's football team in south-east London.

Matthew Simmons, of Kynaston Avenue, Thornton Heath, south-west London, bore a five-year grudge against Stuart Cooper for excluding his son from the team, Kingston Crown Court heard.

Simmons has previous convictions for public order offences, assault and a caution for common assault.

Earlier Simmons addressed the judge to offer mitigation on behalf of himself.

He said: “I accept the guilty verdict. I will make sure I will never come before these courts ever again.”

He told the judge he has now got a full-time job with the Territorial Army, and he hopes to be deployed.

He added: “It will be at the mercy of this court, and it will be my very, very last chance to do something with my life.”

Love to see the Man Utd fans in the home end too [emoji23]

 

[BNthree]

Handful of United fans seem to be in the home end in that photo. Surprised the lad hasn't got a "Cantona can I have your shirt?" sign.

An enjoyable read:

Paul Nixon RIP

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Any Palace fans been on here yet trying to say he killed someone, as if a bunch of lads having a scrap in a pub weren't to blame? Clowns.

Amazing day in football history that one at Selhurst Park.
