Eric Cantona is regarded as many as the best Frech player ever to play in the Premier League despite having the likes of Thierry Henry and Robert Pires in the league as well.
The striker was incredible for Leeds United in his debut season that Sir Alex Ferguson signed him up straight away. He did not disappoint and helped the Red Devils win 4 League titles in his 5 seasons at the club.
His baby icon card should be for his time at Auxerre where he scored 13 goals in 1987 and also made his debut for France. That card should be rated at 87 with his pace dominating the stats and shooting around 85 or 86.
His prime icon card should be rated at 92 with his shooting and dribbling just around 90. His mid-range icon card should be around 88 or 89 with all his stats coming down to 80% of what they were in his prime icon card.
