Cantona 'signed autographs and ate McDonalds' in custody

Eric Cantona was relaxed and even ate McDonald’s in the moments after he received a two-week prison sentence for his kung fu-style attack on a Crystal Palace fan, according Manchester United’s former head of security.

The football world was stunned 20 years ago when Cantona, after being dismissed for petulantly kicking Palace defender Richard Shaw during the second half of a Premiership encounter at Selhurst Park on January 25, 1995, lost his temper so spectacularly as he was escorted along the touchline towards the dressing room.
