DVD Description
Cantona: The Complete Collection

He arrived at Old Trafford in 1992 and inspired Manchester United to their first League title in 26 years. In his four and a half seasons United missed out on the title once.... when Eric was banned. At Wembley in May 1996 he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup Final which secured United an unprecedented double Double. Truly touched by genius, revered by Reds fans everywhere, Eric Cantona was the King.

This boxset includes three programmes on DVD for the first time which encapsulate Cantona, the man and the player, during his time at Manchester United.

With over three and half hours of Cantona action, this is a must have for all Manchester United fans!

One third good is good enough, 15 Dec 2007

By	M. Harrison "Hamish" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This boxed set is made up of three DVDs which have been made at different times and subsequently brought together in a collection.

The first - Eric the King - is a winner, and worth the price of the whole collection on its own. It was made in 1995 by Director Sophie Manham, who went on to make documentaries for television, and it is a 'proper' film. It is well constructed and directed, with excellent interviews - especially with Sir Alex Ferguson and Cantona himself. It tells the story of Cantona's move to Old Trafford and his first two glorious seasons. It is full of insight, with Cantona speaking eloquently about English football, himself and Manchester United. Although a little overlong at 90 minutes it is utterly compelling, and the football clips are superb - including footage that doesn't just relate to goals.

The second DVD is called Cantona Speaks and picks up the story. It covers his infamous kicking of a fan at Crystal Palace (though oddly for such a definitive collection it doesn't use a clip of the moment), his subsequent ban, and then his return the following season. This film is as poorly made as the first one is good, but the sheer amount of interview with Cantona, plus the football action and its relative brevity at 45 mins, make it ultimately worthwhile.

The third DVD - Au Revoir Cantona - is a shocker. It is a sloppily made canter through all the previous material, plus a little on his final season at the end. At 75 minutes it tests the patience of even a die hard Man U fan like me, and I would advise you to skip to the last 15 minutes, just to watch the action from the final season.

A mixed bag then, but the first DVD alone makes it a must-have not just for Cantona and United fans but for anyone who longs to hear a footballer able to articulate his love of the game.

The only downside was the constant rplaying of the goals...but that is a small price to play for the brilliance of the KING!!!
This dvd gives you goosebumps all over....any united fan would love this as a gift or simply a purchase on themselves!! no regrets whatsoever!!!
