I can't believe that there is a market for this sh1te. It's not like you're going out on the piss with them. You are paying mad money to stand in a queue full of other empty heads in order to have a two sentence awkward stilted "conversation" and photo with the disinterested man in question before you are shooed away by some self important marketing dope. You can show your pals the photo after.

"Look, here's me meeting Cantona!"
"Cool, what was he like?"
"Ah pretty sound. Actually quite down to earth. Nice fella"

Eh yeah, you really got to the very essence of his character in those 5 seconds standing beside the lad. He just wants your money so he can quickly go and sterilize his hand after making physical contact with so many nervous, sweaty, old-enough-know-better loser types.

Probably be more interest in this from the barstool masses than we got at Lansdowne for the last couple of qualifiers against Georgia.

A player I always felt was over-hyped. Sure, his contribution to Man Utd's extraordinary 95-96 PL title win is very noteworthy, but his consistency was always an issue, and prior to the incident at Selhurst Park, his volatility made him a liability. His struggles in European Competition, while at United were also well documented.

When I think of Cantona I never think of him as one of the best players ever, because he wasn't. He did though score some of the most stylish goals ever and his arrogant goal celebrations were the best.

Cantona should have went to prison.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The fella behind him in the leather jacket wasn't getting too carried away, absolutely stone faced.

Had the privilege of meeting the King himself once at a small event in Manchester. He bought the 50 or so punters a beer each and had a brief chat with everyone. A true legend and a privilege to meet boyhood hero.

Will always love Cantona for that kick on Matthew Simmons

He was dead right. The guy was a tool.
Cantona was more symbolically important for United than anything else. He was the final piece of the jigsaw in the football sense, but the fans needed an idol in a very young team. It was the right player, at the right club, at the right time.
As good a player as he was, he was never world-class. One of my favourite ever players though, a true maverick. That press conference is still my favourite moment in English football.

I can never understand why Cantona reacted so violently! It was reported that Simmons had shouted:
"Off! Off! Off! It's an early bath for you, Mr Cantona!" 

Maybe Cantona didnt want to have a bath?

According to those nearby, fellow Palace fans, he said; " f**k off back to France, you French bastard!". He didn't kick him half hard enough.

Why anyone would want to go see Stephen Gerrard is beyond me.  One of the most uninteresting footballers on the TV at present. 
 
Don't understand the appeal of these things at all. 
 
Roy Keane is box office and I wouldn't even go to see him at one of these things.
