News (98/10):

Here it is! After spending last summer on the beaches to promote the beach-soccer, and a quick come back in Old Trafford for a charity game, KING is back on movie screens for his first main acting.

°°°°°°

The last summer was thus placed under the sign of the sport for this great football celebrity. Indeed, one of the privileged places or one could meet the KING at that time were the beaches of the south of France where our national CANTO played the luxury ambassadors for the beach-soccer.

But at this game French are still not so good as their counterparts of the more traditional grounds since they lost something like 6 to 15 verse the brasilians, certainly more accustomed to these beach activitities.

Sport again with this too fast return in England for the commemorative game of the tragedy having struck Man Utd in 1958. Indeed during the return travel of Munich where the team led by Bobby CHARLTON & Mat BUSBY (coach) played a European Cup game, almost all the team was decimated in the crash of Manchester's plane.

Storm-tossed violent little after takeoff, the plane of Red Devils was crushed and more half of this fantastic team (the busby babes) died. This accident was the worst tragedy of the history of F.A Premier League...

Forgetting a little the tragic of this match, all Old Trafford acclaimed, its god, his idol coming back for one & single game which looked more like the jubilee of the terrible child of french football: a blue-white-red stadium & full like it was on the great hours of the KING!

Still under the shock by the announce which shook city & the club as a bomb some 15 month before, the fans did not want to miss the return of their idol and managed so that Cantona does not forget this game: war-painting at the french colors, blue-white-red flags & songs of the great time, that of the 4 titles between 1993 & 1997, including 2 doubles Cup / Championship, never made in England before...

Supreme distinction for that man which was champion already in 1992 with Leeds United, and which go thanks to its talent, its magic & its genius take along along its team to the top where the team is now... between 1993 & 1998 the the 2 only titles lost by Manchester are that of 1995 behind the Blackburn Rovers of Allan Shearer (10 month bann of the KING) and that of 1998 behind the Gunners of Arsene Wenger (retirement of CANTO)... too obvious coincidences to my taste to not be notice!

If you add to that several "Best Player / Best Scorer Of The Year" titles...

°°°°°°

During this time was also preparing MOOKIE of Herve Palud, movie in which the KING plays his first main role after a short appartion in " Le bonheur est dans le pré", sagas of the Nike adds, Sharp & various others adds with his brother Jöel...

Mookie is not a monkey like the others. In the forest from where it comes, a strange object fallen from the sky gave him unexpected and unusual capacities: the small chimpanzee can not only speek, but also equipped with forces quasi herculéennes, quite higher than those of its congeneric.

Dehydrated, the small monkey is saved by the care of the abbot. The troubles of abbot Benoît begin the day when it seeks to escape the scientists, who want to study this monkey not ordinary, in company from a boxer (Canto) itself tracked by gangsters.

A crazy run starts on the road of Mexico City, for this nice trio that nothing predestined to be formed, the priest, the sportsman and the speaking chimpanzee.

CANTONA... wether you like, wether not... what is sure it is that there is no middle... you can say of him what you want, but only its prize list speaks...

Misunderstood by some like all the great geniuses, Magic Cantona knew to remain right in front of all the obstacles and if you remained with me until this bottom of this page it is that you are just like me! The others, those which do not understand anything in football, class & genius, will already have quit for a long time... poor guys!

Respect for him... good luck & bye bye!
