(Damn, this list is turning into a Manchester United Fight League list!)
The name ‘Eric Cantona’ is often synonymous with the infamous ‘Kung Fu’ kick that shocked the footballing fraternity almost 22 years ago.
After being sent off in a game against Crystal Palace, Eric Cantona, who was already notorious for showing fiery temper tantrums, ran towards the stands to deliver a thud onto the chest of a fan who had spewed abuses at him.
The fan allegedly told Eric to “fuck off back to France”, which was met with a knee-jerk reaction (literally!) Cantona, after kicking the fan, proceeded to deliver a series of punches before being pulled off. Cantona later said he hadn’t punched the fan hard enough. Woah!
Had Cantona switched careers and made a move to Mixed Martial Arts, he would have fared just as well as he did on the footballing pitch.
