Cantona at Selhurst 30 years on

Think it was a Tuesday night. We had just beaten Blackburn at OT with a goal Cantona scored from a Giggs cross, and had just signed Cole. Things were looking very promising. It’s very likely that if Cantona hadn’t flipped that night, we’d have ended up with five titles in a row, and he’d have six out of six in total.

Nah it was definitely a wednesday. We'd have won the league no doubt.

Aye, can still see Giggsy sliding to win the ball then in near enough a single movement he stands and crosses and Eric nods in at the far post, everything was on a knife-edge, amazing times...

Pretty sure it was a Wednesday the Blackburn game being the previous Sunday winning one nil with a Cantona header, could be wrong though, I was 12

It was brilliant from Giggs.Even so Eric had just one square foot of goal to aim at but he hit the target.He usually did.
Blackburn had a goal disallowed just afterwards which only made it sweeter.
 
Remember it like yesterday. A midweek game and my dad and I were listening to the commentary on the radio, while playing cards, as we would.

When the commentary said that Cantona had gone into the crowd and had an alitication with a fan, it was hard to imagine what had happened.

It was only when seeing it later on the news that we realized how crazy this was.
 
Caused a massive row the following day at work between myself and several Cantona haters.

Loved it when he returned from his ban to remind everyone who was King.
