4. On the Pitch Controversies
From Eric Cantona’s kung-fu kick to Luis Suarez‘s bite, from Alan Pardew’s David Meyler headbutt to Di Canio’s referee rage, the Premier League has always provided laughs as well as great sporting memories.
Fans were left shocked January 25th 1995, after Eric Cantona, having just been sent off, suddenly ran and jumped into the crowd, kicking a fan and following it up with a few punches. Cantona claimed the man was racist and had also insulted his mother, something the fan has denied ever since. However, Cantona was banned from football for nine months, stripped of his Manchester United captaincy and never selected for France again after his brief moment of madness.
