Eric Cantona features at number 41 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Born Paris 1966, hailed as a hero, the fiery French Star's shock departure to arch-rivals Man United stunned Leeds Fans, many of them turning their adulation into spite. He only stayed for 9 months and his record of 25 starts and a further 10 from the bench while hitting the net 14 times says little for his cult status. The "Ooh-ah Cantona" love affair blossomed as he recorded superb hat-tricks against Tottenham Hotspurs following the superb treble against Liverpool at Wembley in the Charity Shield, and who would ever forget his brilliant individual effort against Chelsea.
