French Actor, Director, Producer & Former Professional Soccer Player
Eric Cantona Biography
Born in Marseille, France, Eric Cantona, is one of football’s most iconic figures. Known for his charisma, artistry on the pitch and fiery temperament, Cantona left an indelible mark on the sport.
He began his professional journey at Auxerre before stints at several French clubs, including Marseille, Montpellier, and Nimes. Cantona’s undeniable talent caught the attention of English clubs, leading to his move to Leeds United in 1992. There, he helped the team secure the First Division title.
Cantona’s defining chapter unfolded at Manchester United, where he joined later that year. Wearing the iconic number ‘7’ shirt, he became the linchpin of Sir Alex Ferguson’s team. His flair, vision, and goals led United to four Premier League titles and two FA Cups during his five-season tenure. He is a former captain of the French national team, making 45 appearances and scoring 20 goals for his country.
In 2002, Cantona became an inaugural inductee into the English Football Hall of Fame, and by 2003, United Magazine voted Eric as Manchester United’s greatest player.
Cantona retired in 1997 at the age of 30 and has since built a diverse career in film and music. Most recently, he starred in Netflix's "Inhuman Resources" as well as the action crime thriller "AKA"; appeared in the documentary "Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In" and also had a role in John Woo's 2024 remake of his own earlier film, "The Killer."
