On Tour with Eric Cantona

Available for over a year

The French footballer Eric Cantona has long been a household name... but for many different reasons. Firstly, while playing six seasons in England and winning the top league title in five of them. The only year he missed the silverware saw an increase in his infamy - he had been banned for karate kicking a fan from the pitch and over the advertising hoarding. After his retirement from football, he took up acting... and now he's reinvented himself again as a singer-songwriter set to record his debut album, live on stage. In this episode of 5 Minutes On, the BBC's Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson meets Eric Cantona just as he's about to embark on his first UK tour. Image: Jason Hindley
