“As flies to wanton boys, we are for the gods. They will kill us for the sport. Soon, the science will not only be able to slow down the ageing of the cells, soon the science will fix the cells to the state and so we will become eternal. Only accidents, crimes, wars will still kill us but unfortunately crimes and wars will multiply. I love football.”
I'm not going to comment on the genius of Cantona, his quoting King Lear or his dress at a formal UEFA awards ceremony. It's all there to be enjoyed by each of us. It is worth in the clip below watching the faces of the footballers in the audience, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo among them, and wondering what they are making of King Eric, the only footballer that matters.
Fucking brilliant from one of the best ever
ReplyDeleteYes brilliant. Once all the tin pot dictators, fascist xenophobes and crooked businessmen have fucked the world up we will need this poet, prophet and footballing genius to save us from the sickness. I'd vote for him, he's got more grace than the rest of them put together, ha!

ReplyDeleteYes Adam, or even a futuristic Lancelot to save us from Arthur's fallen 'Albion'.
