Publisher Description
Once voted by Manchester United fans as the greatest player in the club’s history, Eric Cantona is still immortalised in song around Old Trafford more than two decades after he abruptly retired from football aged just 30.
King Eric is an original and exhaustive exploration of the Frenchman’s colourful career during the 1990s. Featuring fresh interviews with club legends and those closest to the action, it chronicles Cantona’s transformative impact on a club desperately chasing a first league title since 1967.
From the untold story of his initial arrival in snowy South Yorkshire to the inside track on his all-conquering reign at Old Trafford, respected Manchester United author Wayne Barton re-examines the life and legacy of a unique character who changed the landscape of English football forever.
Customer Reviews
The King relived
Excellent read that perfectly summarises Eric’s influence at Utd which is still remembered today. There’s hasn’t been another player like him and there never will.
