An incredibly entertaining and perceptive look at the most
controversial moment in Premier League history. 25th January 1995 A
cold winter's evening. Manchester United away against Crystal
Palace at a packed-out Selhurst Park. Eric Cantona, United's
mercurial talisman, has been man-marked closely all game by Richard
Shaw and become increasingly frustrated. In the 48th minute,
Cantona's temper boils over and he kicks out at Shaw. The ref shows
him a red card. On his way off the pitch, a Palace fan rushes
towards the hoardings to hurl abuse. The Frenchman loses it. He
launches into the crowd, aiming a kung-fu kick at the fan's chest.
He is forcibly restrained and then taken off down the tunnel. The
football world is stunned. Nothing like this has ever happened
before. What followed has entered football folklore: the media
furore, the seagulls following the trawler, and the longest
domestic ban ever handed to a player; it would end up lasting 250
days. As Manchester United's campaign stuttered towards a
trophy-less conclusion, surrendering the league on the last day of
the season and losing the FA Cup final, Cantona withdrew from the
public eye. But, behind closed doors, Ferguson was planning the
most remarkable of fresh starts for his star player and for a
new-look United. 250 Days tells the story in brilliant detail of
one of the most turbulent times in United's recent history. Showing
Cantona in a new light, and the genius of Ferguson's man management
and vision in close relief, it is an incredibly entertaining and
insightful look at the most controversial episode of the Premier
League era.
