Definitely Eric Cantona and it was delicious to hear the sound of the tabloid press jaws hitting the floor as the then golden boy of football in the U.K. refused to play ball with them. Respect (even if it was a Red Devil haha).

I seem to remember around a similar time that loads of Leeds fans chanted “Rambo! Rambo!” to Cantona in a misunderstanding that one of his inspirations was Rimbaud (the famous French poet)!

Very funny I seem to recall at the time.

”Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.”

Ah you beat me to it.

A couple of weeks before I finished with Wakefield MDC to migrate I had to attend a training day.  Can’t remember what it was about but each of us was given an A3 sheet with an outline image of a shield.  I can’t remember what images I drew on the shield, or why, but in the header of the shield I wrote ‘Don’t let the b******s grind you down’.  It was a conversation stopper

I was recently re-watching Big Trouble in Little China, so I had to add this one:

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: “Have ya paid your dues, Jack?” “Yessir, the check is in the mail.”
