The funniest thing I’ve ever seen in football

I work with the kid (now 40+)in the United hat on the left.

He can’t remember much about it

I remember you telling me this story. Most random thing ever 😂

This is Dave. Also known at the cantona kid …

Tried to get his dad to talk to @rednews.bsky.social but he said the press were a nightmare at the time and doesn’t want to be anywhere in print

Neither watch United these days

It’s like the moon landing. Everyone alive remembers where they were. I was watching the game at a bar in Preston; the whole place fell silent. No one could figure out WTF was going on. 😂

Cantona's grandfather fought the fascists in Spain and eventually had to flee to France. Of his kick, Cantona later said:

"I think, maybe, it's like a dream for some people, you know, sometimes, to kick these kind of people. So I did it for them. So they are happy."

Absolute goddamn legend.

I had already saved the same photo and thought of my caption when I saw your almost identical post. But I went ahead with mine anyway.
