    Nobody can ever doubt his obvious talents but he was crazy at times.

    I don't think he was as good a footballer as was made out. Don't get me wrong, he was very, very good, but he often underperformed in a lot of big games in Europe. He was top class, not world class. It was his personality that made him great. I was living in France as a young kid when that interview went out and watched it live and I was in awe of it and him. He has an arrogance that is wrapped in warmth. He manages to have an ego without condescending, or at least only condescending to those he wants to condescend. A true maverick and a genuinely good bloke. When he kicked that racist at Palace, followed by the greatest ever press conference of all time... Just sensational.
    It is no wonder he was loved in Manchester, no footballer expressed the Madchester scene better: working-class, intelligent, arrogant, talented, angry and didn't give he *. He understood what the people wanted and they loved him for it. It would be a lot better game if there were more like him.
    I have no allegiance to Manchester United, but he is possibly my favourite ever footballer, or just behind Diego. It is between the two of them anyway.

    What? A Celtic supporter? I would imagine his sympathies are more likely to be with us, he isn't going to care for all that establishment nonsense down the road.

    I mean, it would be exceptionally rare for a Frenchman born in Marseille to parents from Sardinia and Barcelona to have any affiliation to Celtic, especially if he never played for the club at any point.

    One of the great French expressions. I have tried to introduce it to English and have got some funny looks!
