    Cantona launched at Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons who had been racially abusing him for being a “foreigner” at Selhurst Park Stadium. Cantona’s grandfather was from Barcelona, and was seriously injured fighting the armies of fascist General Francisco Franco in 1938.

  5. @rationalgarde [I]nternational bekannt wurde #Cantona […] durch einen Zwischenfall am 25. Januar 1995. Beim Spiel gegen Crystal Palace trat er im Kung-Fu-Stil einen Zuschauer, der ihn wegen seiner Nationalität beleidigt, bespuckt und den Hitlergruß gezeigt hatte […]. Er entkam knapp einer zweiwöchigen Gefängnisstrafe und wurde von der Football Association und der FIFA weltweit für acht Monate gesperrt. In einem Interview bereute er, nicht härter zugetreten zu haben.

  9. Cantona is the prehispanic settlement with the highest amount of ballcourts (27) in the Mesoamerican region. Apart from being a sport and a source of entertainment, it is believed that the ballgame represented the struggle between day and night, life and death, and is often associated with ritual human sacrifice. #Cantona #Puebla #Mexico 🏐🇲🇽
