Eric Cantona - it’s a myth


Recommended Posts

According to Trevor Francis in his new autobiography we were never going to sign Eric anyway. Article in the Stir today which I managed to find amid all the obvious distress caused by the Blunt’s exploits yesterday.

Why didn't he make that clear at the time if I remember at the time it was definitely made clear we had first dibs on him. In fact when Cantona went to Man U on the cheap after a difficult time at Leeds, Francis was in the press saying this shows he was right in not signing him

Why would he tell the truth, only a complete turnip would hold their hands up and say they missed out on one of the players of the century on a free transfer.

 

 

Then you can simply dismiss anything anyone ever says and you win the argument.  But I don't think it would be a very good way of reaching the truth.

To be fair, it's not just like he has said it now, this story came out yonks ago, don't know if TF had already written an earlier Autobiography, or if it was just in the press but he has said it before.  Old news.

"nobody told me there would be days like these!"
