Riassunto

Football, and art. Eric Cantona - legend, maverick, troubled artist or just plain trouble - never distinguished between the two. For all the heat and noise surrounding his career's infamous episodes, it is for the sheer exuberant beauty of his play that Cantona is chiefly remembered by football fans. This unique footballing artist became a true talisman at Manchester United, where to this day fans sing of 'King Eric'. And yet the effortless style of Cantona's play could not hide a darker side to his temperament.

Leading French football journalist Philippe Auclair has interviewed over 200 key protagonists in Cantona's career - some for the first time on the record - searching for the man behind the myth. Marrying a deep knowledge of Cantona's impact on the pitch with soulful, pin-sharp insight into the heart and head of this complex character, this is nothing less than the definitive biography of a one-time rebel of the French game, who rose to be the King of Old Trafford.
