That was part of the problem. Shearer, Bellamy and Kluivert couldn't all be accomodated. Unfortunately the manager at the time didn't have the bollocks or intelligence to put the best two up front unless his hand was forced.
Nicely done.
Off topic, but you should see the place Cantona lived in when he was in Manchester, man. Literally a modest semi. Albeit in the same gorgeous area where I happen to reside.
I met him at Kimberley Park in Prudhoe a few times when his son Drew played there with me. Also met him at the training ground a couple of times.
Always displayed an extremely dry sense of humour and did have something of an arrogance about him, but by Christ did he make an effort with the autographs and people who wanted a chat.
Crazy to think how many times we went into the season expecting to challenge for a CL place and finished mid-table or lower, or got relegated! A lot would have taken another 12th place finish in September, but here we are. Crazy.
