Aside from 95 I don't recall Cantona being that hated. That was more of a phase, like Beckham in 98. I think a lot of people even find that incident hilarious in hindsight. Keane was probably more unpopular, particularly after his book came out. Cole is easily as hated, even Chelsea fans think he's a wanker.

[/ QUOTE ]medgar, you're right. king is wrong on this, Cantona wasn't that unpopular a player. His play was at times breathtaking and grudgingly admired by most. It appears King is a fan of the scum (that's the real scum - Liverpool) so I can understand his resentment.
