15 of the most arrogant quotes by footballers

#13 Eric Cantona

Call him what you want, but he won’t give a damn about it. It’s not for nothing that Manchester United fans still revere him and call him by the name ‘King Cantona’.

It is no secret that Cantona had a very ‘special’ relationship with his French teammate Didier Deschamps. But he took his ‘love’ for him a notch higher when he said this about him:

"Deschamps gets by because he always gives 100 per cent, but he will never be anything more than a water carrier."

Only Cantona can get away with such jibes by holding his head high. He also utters these famous lines in his movie ‘Looking for Eric’,

"I am not a man, I am Cantona."

Sums everything up nicely, doesn’t it?
