Firstly Nicky, thanks for the kind words!
I see you're Seattle based, next time you make it to a show come and say hello, we'd love to meet you!
Diggs, we're kind of named after the famous Kung Fu Frenchman. I'm an exiled red, moved to Seattle from Manchester 6 years ago, and Eric was my favourite player. When we were looking for a name I was reading a book about Mexico and saw a town called Cantona, plus our bass player is called Erik, so it seemed fitting!
As great a player and an entertainer as Mr. C was, our singer Leslie has the edge on him when it comes to expressing herself in her lyrics, maybe not in kicking the crowd tho' :-)
Great idea about the chant, might stop so many Americans calling us can-toner!
Thanks guys!
Glenn (from Cantona)
