Who better to focus on for the first proper episode of the podcast than Jon's first footballing hero than the icon, the enigma, the legend that is Eric Cantona?

Jon is joined by Andre from France to discuss all things Eric, from his early career in France, the antics that essentially forced him to leave the country, international football, moving to England and finding his eventual home at Manchester United under his mentor and father-figure in Alex Ferguson. Of course, the Kung-fu kick and the furore surrounding it is mentioned too, plus how Eric and Ferguson expertly dealt with the situation to bring out the best of Cantona once he returned.

We also look at Eric's post football career, his acting, modelling and everything else, as well as Andre's meeting with the great man, as well as discussing the Cantona effect on both of us, as well as his impact in Manchester and further afield.
