Just how good was Eric Cantona?
Have your say at #KungFuCantona
Life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for Eric Cantona at Manchester United.
He had a history of disciplinary problems going back to his career in France - nothing major, punching a team-mate in the face, a three-month ban for a shocking tackle - and was well known for having 'a short fuse.'
He was sent-off three times in the 1993-94 season and was soon to lose it again on the winter's night at Selhurst Park.

Image source, PAIn terms of off-the ball incidents Luis Suarez's bite(s) are probably the closest we have come to Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick in recent memory.
In the age of social media and 24-hour news, how would a similar incident play out now? And would the sanctions be greater?

Our coverage on BBC Radio 5 live is just about to start. Tune in.
That's right Paddy - before joining Leeds Cantona had a trial with Sheffield Wednesday, but manager Trevor Francis wanted another week to make up his mind and Cantona joined the men at Elland Road instead.
Like Decca Records not signing the Beatles...
Paddy Kenworthy:, external All this Cantona coverage reminds me how close Sheffield Wednesday were to signing him, and how stupid we were to let him go #SWFC
Rammy:, external Twenty years ago it snowed like mad all day. Stuck on Manchester road all night listening to the radio !!!!
Ray Hall:, external Cantona was the catalyst that kicked off one of the greatest periods of Man United's history, wish we had him now

Image source, PAThe chip against Sunderland, winners against Newcastle and Liverpool, walking through the Spurs defence single-handed - Eric Cantona scored some belters in England, no doubt about that.
My personal favourite was this effort in the FA Cup against Wimbledon. Horrible kit, wonderful touch to control a dipping ball and then boom - into the corner.
What's your favourite?

A year later he led them to a double, adding the FA Cup with a 4-0 hiding of Chelsea at Wembley. Cantona scored two penalties.
After league wins with Leeds in 1992 and Marseille in 1991 it was four title wins in a row for the enigmatic number seven.
He was also named PFA player of the year. The best in the business?
Image source, Getty ImagesIf you are a football fan aged 20 or under, trying to imagine Manchester United going 26 years without winning the league title is not an easy task.
Under Sir Alex Ferguson the men from Old Trafford were eventually a dominant force. But when Eric Cantona took the M62 from Elland Road to join Ferguson's side in 1992 the title had been an elusive mistress for an entire generation.
His impact was immediate. When Cantona scored his first United goal in December 1992 the club were below Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa and Norwich in the table.
Yes - Blackburn, Villa and Norwich.
Image source, PAThe year of 1995 was a great time to be alive in many ways.
Oasis and Blur battled for the attentions of the CD-buying public and inspired me to take up the guitar, Toy Story, Dumb and Dumber and Die Hard with a Vengeance were keeping the cinemas ticking over, the average pint of bitter was on sale in your local pub (which was still a pub) for £1.47, and we had strikers like Eric Cantona, Sir Les Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Robbie Fowler and Stan Collymore to enjoy every week.
Image source, PAOn the other hand Celine Dion and Robson & Jerome were selling millions of albums, the Krypton Factor AND Bullseye were both cancelled and there was no such thing (in my house, anyway) as the internet, on-demand TV, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, 24-hour shopping, digital radio...
What on earth did we all do with our time? Speak to each other?

Where were you when you learned of Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick? How shocked were you? Did you grow up idolising the Frenchman?
Or could you not stand him? How good was he as a player? Where does he rank on your all-time list?
Was he punished enough? Or should more have been done?
So much to say - and here is the place to say it.

Image source, Getty ImagesWho was Eric Cantona in January 1995?
At the age of 28, Cantona was arguably the best player in the Premier League. He had joined Manchester United from champions Leeds in 1992 for £1.2m, in one of football's finest bargains of living memory.
A striker for whom the word 'maverick' was invented, Cantona was a constant mystery on the pitch. Built like a targetman but possessing the touch of a painter, he had vision and awareness which marked him out from your average English forward of the day.
He could also score a goal or two...

Tonight's 5 live special gets under way at 19:30 GMT as Mike Ingham and guests examine the incident, the fall out, and discuss Eric Cantona - the man and the player.
The show features interviews with:
The Crystal Palace manager at the time, Alan Smith.
Manchester lawyer and director Maurice Watkins, who was tasked with defending Cantona.
Former United defender Gary Pallister, who was on the pitch.
Ned Kelly, former head of Manchester United security who spent time alone with Cantona following the sending off.
And some of the fans from the famous picture of the kick itself.
Unmissable. You can listen to the show right here.
Believe it or not, it is 20 years since Manchester United forward Eric Cantona lost his cool in one of the most memorable and shocking moments in Premier League history.
The Frenchman had just been sent-off for kicking out at Crystal Palace defender Richard Shaw when he launched himself into the stands and attacked spectator Matthew Simmons.
Why did he do it? How good was he in his day? How significant was that moment in the title race that year? Should he have been punished further? What do you remember about that night at Selhurst Park?
In this page, and on a BBC radio 5 live special from 19:30 GMT, we shall attempt to answer some of those questions. Stay tuned.
Cast your mind back to Wednesday, 25 January 1995.
Manchester United legend Matt Busby had just died, future pop sensation Harry Styles was just about to be born, John Major was Prime Minister and the bizarre Swedish barndance-techno of "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex was number one in the charts.
