Drummer Eric Cantona hit a Nazi follower

Footballer Eric Cantona beat his disciple Matthew Simmons in a Manchester United match. The judge had just presented the red card and expelled Cantona. Walking from the edge of the camp to the locker rooms, Simmons insulted him for being a foreigner and fired him fascistically, causing Cantona’s “flying kick”.

Cantona's grandfather was from Barcelona and fought the armies of fascist General Franco before going into exile.

Media reports that Simmons had previously participated in the myths of the British National Party and the Far Right National Front, and that a man born in Sri Lanka was attacked in a robbery in 1992.

Cantona was sentenced to harsh punishment: nine months outside the camps and 120 hours of social services.

Subsequently, he pointed out that he was one of the sweetest moments in his career, saying that a fascist cannot stick every day.
