Cantona's Cup - 'Its Just a Game Not a War'

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

A year is a long time in football. In January 1995 Eric Cantona assaulted a spectator, and his very future in the game was in doubt. In May 1996 Eric Cantona climbed the Wembley steps to lift the FA Cup as Manchester United captain - the first foreign player to ever do so. This hour long video follows Cantona throughout the competition, from his invaluable contribution in the third round game against Sunderland through to his match winning goal in the 85th minute of the Wembley final against arch-enemies Liverpool. The action is interspersed with comment from Sir Bobby Charlton, an in depth interview with Lee Chapman, Cantona's former room-mate at Elland Road, and the exclusive views of Eric himself, as we dig deep into the Frenchman's psyche and find out what makes him tick.
