This match took place a week before Eric Cantona’s exclusion following the “kung fu kick” incident at Crystal Palace with his club Manchester United on January 25, 1995.

Manchester United's Eric Cantona has been fined £20,000 and banned from playing football over his kung fu-style attack on the fan.

The club suspended him to the bench for nine months (and the League until the end of September 1995).

Cantona has also been stripped of his captaincy of the French national team and suspended.

Cantona claims the fan, Matthew Simmons, shouted racial insults and threw a missile at him as he walked off the pitch after being given a red card for kicking another player during a tackle.
