He does whatever makes him happy. That's something everyone can learn from this legend. Kung Fu Kicker We think that this was the moment that started the Kick out Racism campaign in football. Quite literally because the king literally tried to kick it out. It was at Selhurst Park, and our man had just been red-carded. He was on his way back to the dressing room, and then this giant oaf of an opposite fan throws a racist abuse at him.
Some even say he did the Nazi salute. Not one to take racist insults lightly, he leaped over, and kung fu kicked the idiot, threw a couple of punches before being escorted into the tunnel. We think it was just the right reaction from the King. It has become an iconic moment since. Celebration A casual shrug of the shoulders. Who celebrates like that? The king. That's who. The most nonchalant celebration in the history of the sport has to be this one.
It was as if scoring a belter or a crazy goal where he'd beat like two or three defenders meant nothing to him. Well, on the contrary, we think it meant everything to him. It will probably come as no surprise that the only football team Cantona follows on Instagram is Manchester United.
Like many famous Instagram users, Cantona uses it to promote his commercial interests, but he also shares photos and videos of his family life.
Every now and then, he will drop a typically philosophical observation and other times he will just share a video of himself playing with a ball. Cantona retired at the conclusion of the season at the age of 30, which, even by the standards of the time was premature. The Frenchman revealed that he retired because he had lost his passion for the game and felt unwilling to make the sacrifices that are necessary at the highest level in the game.
He followed through with the decision to retire from playing football professionally despite pleas from his father, Albert, and from his boss at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson. Has anyone figured out what Eric Cantona was trying to say? Later, Cantona said: "I loved the game but I no longer had the passion to go to bed early, not to go out with my friends, not to drink, and not to do a lot of other things, the things I like in life.
In a interview with Inside United , Cantona revealed that he often considered ending his self-imposed retirement. Interestingly, in the same interview, Cantona also revealed that he stopped watching football for a number of years after he hung up his boots.
Cantona went into acting more seriously when he retired from football and has been in more than 30 films. Among the films he has credits in are Elizabeth starring Cate Blanchett and Ken Loach's Looking for Eric , in which he played himself.
Cantona starred in the French-language miniseries Inhuman Resources , which was available to watch on Arte and Netflix. Read more about Eric Cantona's acting career here.
