King of Suburbia
If you saw Fever Pitch, the BBC’s excellent documentary about the early years of the Premier League, you will no doubt have enjoyed Eric Cantona’s sulky charisma all over again.
But as the United captain faced the press following his 1995 kung fu kick on a fan, we couldn’t help wondering why he has the house and car of a retired high street solicitor.
The bloke was captaining Man United and earning £10k a week (a million a year in today’s money), yet he appears to be have rented a two up, two down in a sleepy cul-de-sac on the set of Brookside.
Half expected his wife to lean out the window and scream “Eric, ya tea’ll get cold.”
Great fleece though.
