The status he is afforded in this country, is laughable.
Based on a few League titles with United (probably similar in number to, say, Steve Bruce), he's put up there on a pedestal with the World's best players. Done nothing at European or International level, yet the United fans genuinely seem to think he's one of the "great" players.
Those Nike adverts used to make me laugh - they had all the current top players, doing tricks and all the rest of it, then Cantona wondering round in a suit, shouting orders. They must have been thinking "who's this fat bastard?"...
Bet he couldn't even get arrested in France or elsewhere, but in this country, well, he's some kind of Philosopher King.
