ERIC Cantona was once asked how it felt that, decades after retiring from football, Manchester United fans still sing his name at almost every Old Trafford match.
"I feel proud," he said. "I feel great...
and I feel a bit afraid." Why the fear, Eric? "Because they will stop one day." But one suspects he's wrong.
Today he's utterly adored by Reds too young to have ever seen him kick a ball - and they will always sing for him.
If I'm honest, though: I just wish he'd stop singing for us.
Last October I bore witness to Cantona's latest venture (after retiring from football he became an actor and considered a run for the French presidency - and now he's a singer, as you do).
As we sat in Stoller Hall on that rainy Manchester Friday night, I felt I was living through one of David Lynch's stranger episodes of Twin Peaks.
