#9 Eric Cantona
Known as ‘King Eric’, the great forward of the 1990s had an insatiable appetite for controversy. He is most infamously remembered for his 'Kung-fu' kick on a Crystal Palace fan in January 1995. It led to him serving a two-month prison sentence and receiving an eight-month ban from football.
But Cantona was an unbelievably talented footballer when he had his correct attitude and was one of the driving forces behind Manchester United ending a 25-year drought as English champions, setting them up to become one of the world’s biggest clubs.
His incredible feats have led him to be named by many critics as the finest Premier League player of all time, but these continue to be overshadowed by his attitude, which saw him cut short his France career and then retire aged just 30.
