‘Only accidents, crimes, wars, will still kill us. EricCantona
The former Manchester United legend said in front of a large audience awaiting the Champions League draw in Monaco: ‘As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport.‘Only accidents, crimes, wars, will still kill us. But unfortunately, crimes and wars will multiply. I love football. Thank you.’
A confused audience including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo gave an awkward look in Cantona’s direction.Previous winners include Johan Cruyff and David Beckham who was last year’s winner.After winning his appeal against a two-week prison sentence for kicking an abusive footballer spectator in the chest in January 1995, he uttered gibberish to the media.
He said at the time: ‘When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.’In this article:
