It was the same with Eric Cantona. All City fans loved him too
Fucking seriously.
I always thought both Gallaghers were whoppers. This underlines it.
Not to reopen old debates but I have to admit that I always kind of liked cantona. He was basically a fucking lunatic who had the balls to do things I wouldn't have the balls to do and I admire that.
The time he battered that racist chav at palace was , for me, a great great moment. He should have been knighted for that, for services to the fight against racism in football. A d also for services to "making a billy big bollocks coward shit himself in front of millions on live tv"
Saying that I hated him in the derbies he played in and always felt he wasn't quite the football genius he was painted as. I cannot recall him ever having a great game in Europe. And of course there is the whole demanding "expenses" (ie:payment) to play in the Munich memorial game. I've never understood those Utd fans who sang his name after that, but I guess that sums them up.
