"HAPPY #ERICCANTONA #DAY!
Twenty-eight years ago today, at a match against Crystal Palace, #Manchester United star Eric #Cantona #responded to #racial #abuse he was #subjected to from sieg heiling #NationalFront/#BritishNationalParty supporter #MatthewSimmons by #delivering a #flying #kick to his #head from the #pitch.
Asked about the #incident two decades later, Cantona said “I didn’t #punch him strong enough. I should have #punched him #harder.”
Still a #dedicated #humanitarian and anti-racist, Cantona pledged in September to personally house and feed a #refugee #family in his own home for two years."
