Great story! The story of his transfer to Man Utd is also a belter. If memory serves, it transpired from Sergeant Howard Wilkinson calling the United chairman to enquire about buying one of their players and then Wilko happily agreeing to sell them Cantona after the United chairman raised it as a joke. Something like that anyway. Wilkinson had reportedly once described Cantona as "a Lee Chapman with tricks." I honestly don't know whether that is true or not but it does sound like something he might have said!dave202 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2023, 8:43amI think one of Eric's best moments wasn't caught on camera, what a pity.

"In December 1991, during a match for Nîmes, he threw the ball at the referee, having been angered by one of his decisions. He was summoned to a disciplinary hearing by the French Football Federation and was banned for one month. Cantona responded by walking up to members of the hearing committee in turn and calling each of them an "idiot". His ban was increased to two months, and Cantona subsequently announced his retirement from football on 16 December 1991."
Thankfully he reconsidered his decision and via Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United did something good in Manchester.

Re: Earthquake Weather Redux
Having run through a few times, this is really a terrific listening experience. I've always liked and plugged this record but that was never to say it didn't have its issues and couldn't be improved. For me, the real problem tracks were the likes of Slant Six, Highway One, Jewellers & Bums, Passport to Detroit and even Gangsterville, where there was a good tune hidden beneath too much murk and I really believe this work proves it. Highway One Zero Street is one that stands out because listening to it, i was instantly struck by how clear and luscious Zander's strings sound in the background. I always liked his playing, we just needed to hear it properly. Also digging the extras, Gallop Your Donkey is just more great creativity and I've always adored Dizzy's Goatee so that instrumental is going down, like one of Mr Kiplings finest, exceedingly well!
Marky, will never begin to fathom how you put all this stuff together and cannot begin to thank you enough for it. This isn't just a great contribution, also a very important one i think.

Ack. Sorry. I thought it was scrubbed from the original post. Downloading now and eager to listen. The original mix on that record is so weird.

That's fine as that means Dr. Medulla will get to hear it. Assuming he's used his hobo skills to snaffle a nice stereo from somewhere.

Yeah just leave Kaleb at the gas station and take the acetate only. It will probably only have a mild virus.
