In French media the “man” was more precisely described as a “paparazzi”. Given that Cantona was released after a few hours and the paparazzi required no medical treatment it would appear Eric was exceptionally gentle with him.

Cantona was one of the best players of his generation, simple as.

Thanks. I never really get “awesome” much these days. 🙂

Kid means you are getting it less then 😛

Pretty sure that has put a stop to the piss taking then

Awesome indeed

Cantona for manager? 😛

Cantona for manager?

He’d have no problem throwing boots at players anyway.
