"I feel proud... and I feel afraid": My Manchester United idol keeps making the same mistake
21.04.2024 - 08:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Eric Cantona was once asked how it felt that decades after retiring from football, Manchester United fans still sing his name at almost every Old Trafford match.
"I feel proud," he said. "I feel great... and I feel a bit afraid."
Why the fear, Eric?
"Because they will stop one day."
But one suspects he's wrong. Today he's utterly adored by Reds too young to have ever seen him kick a ball, thanks to the Manchester United Nostalgia-industrial complex - and they will always sing for him.
If I'm honest, though: I just wish he'd stop singing for us.
Last October I bore witness to Cantona's latest venture (after retiring from football he became an actor and considered a run for the French presidency - and now he's a singer, as you do). As we sat in Stoller Hall on that rainy Manchester Friday night, I felt I was living through one of David Lynch's stranger episodes of Twin Peaks.
We half-expected him to MAYBE sing for a short while, but for it to be more of a one-man show where he talks to the audience, reminisces, philosophises.
WRONG. He sang at us for almost two hours with barely a pause in-between songs.
And let me just emphasise that he cannot sing, and that the songs are c***... but my word can he perform, and work a crowd. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
Ultimately we were just so happy be sat in the same room as him. This is a true maverick hero who coloured our childhoods, who gave knackered blokes something to smile about after a s*** day at work and let's not forget: this is the man who was the catalyst for Manchester United knocking Liverpool "off their f****** perch".
He could have leapt from the stage to the third row where we were sat and Kung-Fu kicked me and that night would still be up
