They'll never be anyone else like him.

Eric Daniel Pierre Cantona is an icon of the Premier League and revered by most modern-day football fans as a true genius of the sport. And like many a genius, King Eric is certainly not without his fair share of controversies and flaws. In amongst the titles, cups, international caps, and various other accolades achieved during Cantona€™s career, there are a multitude of misdemeanours that make you question whether Eric was a few sardines short of a sandwich. Whilst many remember his flamboyant arrogance, his match-winning goals, his ice-cool penalties, and the up-turned collar, Cantona€™s backstory is filled with many a moment that The King would rather forget. Despite often standing by some of the heinous acts that he carried out over the years, there are still a whole host of horrible happenings that surely Eric Cantona would love for fans to conveniently forget. An inaugural member of the English Football Hall of Fame, the winner of the Overseas Player of the Decade at the Premier League 10 Seasons Awards, and voted as Manchester United€™s greatest ever player back in 2001, Cantona€™s spells in France and England, not to mention on the international stage, were filled with many a moment that left fans€™ jaws agape at what they were seeing. Here€™s 10 of the best (or should that be worst) moments that stand out for all the wrong reasons.
