#4 Cantona the philosopher
“When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.”
The Greeks are known to have produced some of the finest philosophers this world has ever seen or heard. From the likes of Plato to Aristotle, the Greek history is rich with philosophers that were ahead of their time.
And it seems as though one of them might have reincarnated in the form of Eric Cantona.
When the Frenchman was asked about his kung fu kick to a hooligan in the stands, he came up with this peach of a quote to imply that the media was the seagull following him—the trawler—for some spicy comments on the incident, sardines.
Classic.
