Top 5 hot-headed players football has ever seen

#2: Eric Cantona

Eric Cantona faced a lot of bans in his career

It was as if Frenchman Eric Cantona had been prophesied to face bans almost every month in his football career. Manchester United supporters might adore him as a charismatic leader, but there's no doubt the clinical striker was downright brutal and faced a lot of problems due to his rage.

Initially, it was Sir Alex Ferguson who convinced the charismatic captain to return to football, after he took retirement due to constant punishments and bans. In his 25-year tenure as a manager, no one except Cantona had free reigns at Old Trafford during Fergie's rule. He remains the only player who was spared from Fergusons's famous hairdryer.

And the Kung-fu kick to a spectator, that was a true testament of the cruelty the Frenchman could inflict when at the pinnacle of his rage. No wonder Sir Alex never crossed his path!
