7 of the best quotes from the legendary Manchester United number 7: Eric Cantona

#6 Cantona’s best moment

“My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan.”

For someone who had such a decorated career with the Red Devils, there should be no dearth of glorious moments—and there isn’t. The former Marseille man scored so many wonderful goals and owned so many world class defenders that finding one top moment is like diving into a seemingly never-ending ocean.

However, according to the man himself, his best moment is when he kicked the hooligan fan, something that is seen by many in the negative light. Most players would be embarrassed to talk about it again, even avoiding it if necessary, but Eric Cantona is unlike the others.

He is proud of what most would have been ashamed.
