Eric Cantona: On football, society and art

Eric Cantona on the relationship between sport and social change

Is football in danger of losing its soul to commerce?

Former Manchester United footballer Eric Cantona says he would rather watch a second division team today than follow a Premier League side.

He says, 鈥淚 think we live in a big circus. Everybody knows that.鈥
