Il calciatore Eric Cantona e la musica oi! degli Headliners
Fermarci a parlare di Eric, uno dei mitici numeri 7 del Manchester United, ci porterebbe via dei giorni, dei mesi; lui rappresenta il mondo del calcio a 360°, da giocatore, da uomo di strada, da intellettuale.
Molti si fermano a ricordare Cantona per il calcio sferrato al tifoso, alcuni lo ricordano per le sue azioni di disturbo alle banche, altri si tengono su il colletto della maglia come faceva lui (anche maniero del Venezia!)..ma lui p più di questo, lui è un eroe!
The Headliners si definiscono come “rock ‘n’ roll” french group, sono una band di nantes, della costa occidentale della Francia e tra i vari lavori hanno composto questa: Cantona – king of the Fields, estratta da un disco inciso nel 2009 da etichetta UVPR Records.
Ecco il testo:
Let me tell you a fucking story about a guy for sure you know
(He was bloody number one, you gotta chant his name loud)
No one really understood what was running down his mind
Another player of this kind will never get off the fucking ground
You’re not quick on the uptake and I will just tell you once
(He was bloody number one, you gotta chant his name loud)
Another shoot ! Another shout ! Another Goal ! Another fight !
He’s off the wall you know his name, just remember he was the king !
Cantona was the king of the fields
King of the fields X4
KING OF THE FIELDS !!
Yes he was bloody froggy but the limeys worshipped him
(He was bloody number one, you gotta chant his name loud)
He could kick you on the terraces, so don’t you try to mess with him
For sure this guy got class and pride, just remember his head held high
At Leeds he was the King, and they still remember him
The Devils made him a God, but he would never shout the odds
They called him the nutter !! But no one played better !!
Yeah Cantoa was the King !! The King of fucking fields !!
