25 years ago today, Eric Cantona kung fu kicked Matthew Simmons. One of the most gloriously batshit crazy moments in football history.

It’s one of those, “Remember where you were when...” moments.

It's always the 25th anniversary of some 90s thing that makes you feel all old. But this one realllllly make you feel old!
Love Jonathan Pearce's commentary

God we're all frigging old aren't we. I'm not really a fan of Pearce but that is a great listen.

Everything about that era feels like a completely different world now!

From the very first time I saw it 25 years ago to now, my reaction is still the same.... Good effort Eric  |

The best was in the papers after when the lad was crying about he didn’t know why it happened. Then a couple of days later footage from another camera of him running from higher up in the stand shouting abuse at Cantona then getting in his face

Then a couple of days later footage from another camera of him running from higher up in the stand shouting abuse at Cantona then getting in his face The best bit was seeing him absolutely shit his pants when he realised that he was up against a mad man, who would have ripped his head off  |

Lad told the press that all he said was 'Off you go Cantona it's an early bath for you.' Pisser 😂😂😂

“I care not one jot....” - got to love Pearce, he’s a bloody awful commentator.

One of those where everyone knew he shouldn't have done it and where nearly everyone were glad he did Classic

It’s one of those, “Remember where you were when...” moments. At Villa Park watching Mark Bosnich trying to decapitate Klinsmann, Cantona's kung fu kick took all the attention so bozzy basically got away with a challenge which was on a par with Schumacher's assault on Battiston UTV |

The mock indignation of Clive Tyldesley boils my piss "This is outrageous..."
No it's not Clive,it's fooking exhilaratingly brilliant.
Just like Zidane's headbutt in the World Cup Final;Adebayor's length of the pitch sprint goal celebration; Maradona's post goal,wide eyed,vein bursting,screaming,drug fuelled charge to the camera at USA '94.
It's also manna from heaven to a commentator like you,you hypocritical numpty.

"There's the morning headline," says the commentator on Cantona's red card... Wrong! Watching that MotD clip, it seems Lineker loved the kick. He's become much slicker on TV, but I suppose TV has in general. |

Few years ago I walked past Cantona on Brick Lane down here and with plenty of timber and a big grey beard (and an even bigger coat) he cut one hell of a figure. Majestic.
