Cantana - a famous goal at Bramall Lane

[1973Blade]

It's never nice watching the opposition score at Bramall Lane. But this goal by Cantona was one of the best that I've seen, and sitting on the Kop I got a perfect view of it.

The thing that made it so good was that it was blowing an absolute gale at the time, not helped by the open side of the ground

Much as I hate to admit it, the guy was a genius.

I absolutely hate all goals against us and especially good goals

Great goal but who had the last laugh that night...?

 

[Zipwire]

I had the perfect view of that goal. About 8 or 9 rows back on the kop, behind the goal. I still can't believe how small the gap was between Kellys hand and the crossbar was, and it dropped between them both.

As an afterthought of the game. Cantona should have been sent off for his part in the fisticuffs with Charlie Hartfield, and he should have been suspended for the infamous Kung-Fu kick game with Palace.

Cantina was great and I’m blessed to have seen him play

Same here. To this day the greatest I've ever seen live

 

[A Storm of Blades]

The Cantina was incredible. Once saw a bloke have his arm chopped clean off by an old fella with a laser sword.

 

[Jan Age]

didn’t that goal come from a corner ?…. To us!

Erick was a talent, no doubt

 

[Boxer Blade]

What I loved about it was his cocky I'm Eric cantona ,hands on hips, nodding his head towards the kop, twat!

 

[Inter_blade83]

Kop Canteens were still shit back then too

 

[Canterbury Blade]

Much as I hate to admit it, the guy was a genius.

He was a genius for leaving the pigs after one week of his trial.. wake up and smell the pork!! All right he went a few miles up the M1 but he could sense the pig fat..
A genius!

 

[1973Blade]

Just seen my spelling mistake, how could I get the great man's name wrong!? Cantona!

 

[HillmortonBlade]

Erick was a talent, no doubt

In my defence of bad spelling… I’m very pissed indeed.

Cantona is one of those legendary players who now seems a bit shit because of everyone that has come after him.

Scored about the same number of league goals in his career as Emile Heskey.

Yeah but realistically he was a 10. Superb player who came along as English football was changing, and changed it a fair bit himself too. Also a cock but that probably added to it all a bit didn't it?

 

[Robby Blade]

It was worth the entrance money to see him score against us.

 

[raimond]

If I remember rightly, it was only a couple of weeks before his Palace kung fu kick wasn't it? I remember in this match, him standing and staring out the entire Kop with his hands on his hips because someone chucked a big roll at him when he was about to take a corner.

 

[Champagneblade]

Good to see us paying homage to former glories, just like we did away at Watford!

I think it looks better this way around. Wouldn’t mind if it was swapped, as I think the ground looks better.

Agreed, if he'd been around about 10 years later he wouldn't be half as well thought of or won nearly as much.

He was a great player obviously but mostly what he was was the absolute best man for his time and place.

Spoke excellent English too considering he was Spanish

I was only a few rows back, he got tangled up in the bog roll then kicked the corner flag instead of the ball IIRC. Whole kop gave him stick. I’m sure that’s why he tried the chip not long after and did that little lean-in goal celebration.

Don’t forget that famous celebration
