Footballer Eric Cantona was born on 24th May 1966 in Paris, France. After starting his career at local French teams, he went on to play for Marseille on the top division. He was sold to Leeds United in 91, where he helped them win the Premiership in the 91/92-season. In November he was sold, this time to Man Utd, where he went on to be one of the true legends in football. In 93, with the help of Eric, Utd ended their 26 yrs long wait for the Premiership to return to Old Trafford. Eric's known for his temper and in a game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in January 95, he finally lost it, which led to a 9-months ban from all football.

At the end of the 97 season he retired from football and began a successful career in acting.
