Éric Daniel Pierre Cantona () ( born 24 May 1966 ) is a French actor and former international footballer for the French national team.

Cantona is often regarded as having played a key role in the revival of Manchester United as a footballing force and he enjoys iconic status at the club.

Cantona is affectionately nicknamed by Manchester United fans as " King Eric ", and was voted as Manchester United's greatest ever player by Inside United magazine.

On 19 January 2011, Cantona joined the revived New York Cosmos as Director of Soccer.

Although it has been suggested that he was born in Paris, Cantona was actually born in Marseille to Albert Cantona, a nurse and a painter and Éléonore Raurich, a dressmaker.

By the time Cantona was born in 1966, the hillside cave had become little more than a room in the family's house, which was now up to a liveable standard.

Cantona has two brothers, Jean-Marie, who is four years older ; and Joël, who is 17 months younger.

Cantona came from a family of immigrants: his paternal grandfather, Joseph, had immigrated to Marseille from Sardinia, while his mother's parents had been Catalan separatists.

Cantona began his football career with SO Caillolais, his local team and one that had produced such talent as Roger Jouve and had players such as Jean Tigana and Christophe Galtier within its ranks.

Originally, Cantona began to follow in his father's footsteps and often played as a goalkeeper, but his creative instincts began to take over and he would play up front more and more often.

In his time with SO Caillolais, Cantona played in more than 200 matches.

The following year, Cantona was again in trouble because of a dangerous tackle on Nantes player Michel Der Zakarian, resulting in a three month suspension ; this was later reduced to a two month suspension as his club Auxerre threatened to make the player unavailable for selection in the national team.

Having struggled to settle at Marseille, Cantona moved to Bordeaux on a six-month loan and then to Montpellier on a year-long loan.

The incident led to six players demanding that Cantona be sacked.

Cantona was instrumental as the team went on to win the French Cup and his form persuaded Marseille to take him back.

Back at Marseille, Cantona initially played well under coach Gerard Gili and his successor Franz Beckenbauer.
