King Eric: Portrait of the Artist Who Changed English Football

by Wayne Barton

  

€ 13.75 

ISBN: 9781916811614

Once voted by Manchester United fans as the greatest player in the club's history, Eric Cantona is still immortalised in song around Old Trafford more than two decades after he abruptly retired from football aged just 30.

New in paperback, King Eric is an original and exhaustive exploration of the Frenchman's colourful career during the 1990s. Featuring fresh interviews with club legends and those closest to the action, it chronicles Cantona's transformative impact on a club desperately chasing a first league title since 1967.

From the untold story of his initial arrival in snowy South Yorkshire to the inside track on his all-conquering reign at Old Trafford, respected Manchester United author Wayne Barton re-examines the life and legacy of a unique character who changed the landscape of English football forever.
