eric will always be my favourite player and the very reason i support man united today... i was about 7 or 8 years old when the collar up genius changed my world forever :-) eric cantona was a generation defining player for me and many glory hunters alike played beautiful football

King Cantona won the league every season he played (except for the season he got banned for the kung fu kick LOL) The most important player in the club's history.

[@robinmcewen3286]

As much as I like Cantona, he wasn't remotely the most important Utd player ever. Utd would have won the title with or without Cantona, and dominated as they did thereafter. Cantona did nothing for France or in Europe for Utd. So his arrival was more coincidence than catalyst. Robson, Charlton, Best or Law are the players Utd could not have done without. I would say Robson or Charlton are Utd's greatest ever. Brian McLair was arguably as important as Cantona.

[@gazb2740]

@@robinmcewen3286 Brian McClair as important as Cantona.... Lay off the drugs you nutter! Utd hadn't won a league title for many years before he arrived, he even won the league with Leeds the season before he signed. The next season he signs with UTD and we win the title every full season he played after that until he retired. Two of those wore double winning seasons, with him scoring the winning goal in a LOT of games. Charlton would surely be right up there, and yes he won the European cup that's true, however he only won 3 league titles and a single FA Cup in 17 seasons. Robson was also quality for the club, 3 FA Cups , a European Cup winners cup and 2 league titles in 13 seasons, however it's not a coincidence that he didn't win a league title with the club until the King's first season here, when he had been here for 10 seasons already. Cantona won 4 league titles out of 5 seasons, and surely would of been 5 out of 5 if not for getting banned for the kung fu kick (it's no coincidence that the only season we didn't win the league was the one he got banned in) not to mention 2 fa cups on top of that (which wore both double winning seasons) There's a reason he's called the King after all. For me he's number one without doubt.

[@BrightonLeccyTV]

As per Status Quo's FA Cup Final Song in 1994, the squad that season was frightening. They had the lot. Pace in abundance. Willing runners. Play teams off the pitch. Match anyone for a battle. Match winners in every department. Leaders and characters. Opposition teams were beaten before they even kicked off! Schmeichel - Parker - Pallister..... Irwin - Bruce - Sharpe & Ince...... Hughes - McClair - Keane & Cantona..... Robson - Kanchelskis & Giggs! I wonder if some of the squad members were pissed that they didn't get a mention? Dion Dublin? Clayton Blackmore? Mike Phelan?

I had a season ticket at United when Cantona signed. Remember well all the papers pushing for David Mills as the signing to go for. Having watched them all season, United were great until they reached the opposition penalty box- then it became very formulaic and predictable. I thought the ideal candidate to give that team a flair and unpredictability was Eric. The media pushed for Mills (who we needed like a hole in the head) and yes- I was poo pooed by everyone. Never actually thought it would happen, particularly with him playing for bitter rivals, but when it did I was surprised and delighted (luckily Howard Wilkinson rated Lee Chapman more highly- Wilkinson subsequently became England's Director of Football...) If ever a player was tailor-made for a team, it was Cantona for United. Nice to be proved right.

[@marvmark5878]

even before SAF's time United always play attacking football spearheaded by Bryan Robson, but Giggs right Eric have that something more something special where every thing he did that final passes turns into goals imagine Eric releasing Giggs(11), McClair(9), Hughes(16), Kanchelskis(3) even Paul Ince(6), Steve Bruce & Denis Irwin bagged 5 goals each... and Eric was controlling and dictating matches from the opponent's half to passing the ball around with ease... they couldn't mark him out he's always dropping off to the half way line as the second striker or the N0.10... it was like having a prime Bryan Robson but with more control aggression and graceful plays
