Cantona The Rebel Who Would be King, by Philippe Auclair
This definitive account by Phillipe Auclair on one of football's great characters, a legend of
the modern game, Eric Cantona, is a must read for any football fans.
A fascinating biography by one of football's top journalist, Phillipe Auclair, who interviewed
more than 200 central figures in Cantona's life.
At age 22, Zinedine Zidane was playing in the Intertoto Cup with Bordeaux. At that same age,
Éric Cantona had just got a move from Auxerre to Marseille. Rivaldo had just moved from
Corinthians to cross-town rivals Palmeiras in São Paulo.
With the money involved in today's game and globalized scouting networks, such players would
already have been with one of the European giants before they had the chance to establish
themselves in their local teams.
France's Ligue 1 is in full effect and its hottest team is Olympique Lyonnais. Brazilian playmaker
Michel Bastos scored the game winner in Lyon's 1-0 home win against Lorient. Claude Puel's team
have won 4 straight matches to move into 2nd place behind Bordeaux on goal differential. Lyon have
been doing it with defense allowing only 1 goal during their winning streak.

Gudjohnsen: "I didn't come to Monaco to go boating!" Showboating
then?
After a weekend of 14 goals, Ligue 1 looks like itself again: a series of physical games
littered with poor finishing.

Chelsea have been sensationally banned from signing new players until January 2011 after being
found guilty of tapping up the reserve team sensation Gael Kakuta from Lens when he was 16 year old
player under contract with Lens. Chelsea are the next big club after AS Roma were banned for a
transfer window for poaching Mexes
from Auxerre in 2004.
What's amazing about this clip isn't so much the bad tackle or the retaliation from behind that
earned both Grenoble's David Jemmali and Auxerre's Ireneusz Jelen red cards, but the fact that
Danijel Ljuboja still has that ridiculously unsymmetrical hairstyle that he had way back during the
2006 World Cup.
