On 26 November 1992, the modern history of Manchester United was changed forever. At no other time during Sir Alex Ferguson's illustrious, trophy-strewn career did a single signing have as much impact as the arrival of the second true king of the Stretford End, Eric Cantona.
Royalty had not been bestowed upon a player by the United faithful since Denis Law had left, and given Cantona signed from Leeds United with a somewhat troubled reputation, there was a good deal of scepticism about his arrival.
Utd fan rang me on an actual landline, said go check teletext now, guess who we have signed.
