why did Eric Cantona Kung Fu kick this fan in 1995 during a match against Crystal Palace Cantona was sent off after kicking a defender in frustration as he walked off the field a Crystal Palace fan rushed to the front stands and began shouting racist insults at Cantona filled with rage Cantona launched himself at the fan karate kick style then punched him in the face cantona's actions earned him an 8-month ban criminal charges and community service it could have been the end of his career but Cantona returned stronger leading Manchester United to two more League titles before his retirement in 1997 do you think his reaction was justified or did he cross the line let me know in the comments
