Description

Gary Neville also objected. He knew that Power wasn’t part of the United starting X1 and told Power so. Power told Neville that he was doing this all for Eric Cantona and Gary was to shut up, which seemed to buy him the time he needed to sneak into the photograph.Neville surely didn’t buy Power’s explanation, although he might have been confused inways he couldn’t quite put a finger on. Power, you see, has a passing resemblance toCantona and was wearing Cantona’s famous number 7 shirt. Power might almost havepassed for “King Eric” except that Cantona hadn’t played for United for going on for four years by the time of the Bayern quarter-final.Perhaps, like Cole, Neville reasoned that this would all become irrelevant becausewhomever this Cantona lookalike was, he and his baggy shorts would soon be on his way, walking off the pitch and out of history.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Buy your copy of my book: Vuvuzela Dawn: 25 Sporting Stories that Shaped a New Nation Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.
