    The phone rang and Bilko (who pops up on here occasionally) managed to say, through fits of laughter, put the news on at ten you won't believe what Cantona has just done. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint.

    We were at Old Trafford for a game around 2001 and he came out and waved to the crowd, he must have been wondering why the Charlton fans were worshipping him more than the Mancs.

    Yes, he claimed that all he said was

    "Off, off off, it's an early bath for you!"

    I remember seeing this on the news when I got in late that night and my other half told me about it. I said at the time there's more to this than meets the eye and I have to salute Eric Cantona's ability to pick a nazi to kick.

    What about the one in the home shirt?

    Off off off, that's an early bath for you.

    I remember Paul Ince and others going over and confronting the fan afterwards (I believe Ince got charged for his part) without a single palace fan doing anything other than galping, actually that's not true. As Cantona was being led off the pitch by Schmeichel they did the most palace thing I can possibly think of and threw a cup of tea at him. :frowning:

    Steve Jobs is left but one of Arthur Fowler. With Ronnie O'Sullivan to the left of Cantona's Left hand.

    Oh is that Ronnie O'Sullivan? I thought it was Joey Tribbiani. Still, I'm surprised nobody ever asked Damon Hill what he made of it all. Maybe Inspector Gadget standing behind him told Damon to keep his mouth shut.

    I heard the Jonathan Pearce commentary earlier, which I'd never heard before. Well worth a listen. Very dramatic with ridiculous and comical moments.

    I was there that night. Unforgettable - both for the constant anti-French abuse he got all through the game (I was with my wife who is French and who felt distinctly uncomfortable at the kind of stuff being said all round us) and for the exhilaration I felt when he dealt a little bit of retribution. We subsequently met him at The Cliff training ground when we were up in Manchester for a Bob Dylan concert. Cantona was at the very end of his excessive ban from playing and in person was simultaneously one of the most charismatic people I have ever spoken to and yet humble - seeming to be more interested in us than we were of him.
