6. The First Foreign Player To Lift The FA Cup As Captain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnGL7efs-Ig After heroically scoring a last gasp winner against United's heated rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup Final, United's regular club Captain Steve Bruce stepped aside and allowed Cantona to lead the team up the famous Wembley steps to collect the FA Cup. By lifting the trophy aloft in front of thousands of adoring fans, Cantona became the first player from outside the British Isles to do so. This would be the last time Bruce would be seen in United colours, as he transferred to Birmingham City eleven days later. Cantona was confirmed as United's captain for the 1996€“97 season following his departure.
