Eric Cantona’s kung-fu kick

1. Eric Cantona - Found his creative side during the subsequent anger management sessions, and can be found to this day performing contemporary jazz-informed dance on the Ile De Paris. Unfortunately Cantona’s short fuse got the better of him again in 2003 at the Ouest End premier of his freestyle interpretation of Asterix the Gaul. The fiery Red ‘hundred hand slapped’ an audience member after hearing them quip “René Goscinny would be le spinning in his le grave”

2. Matthew Simmons – Spontaneously combusted on impact. Scientists mumbled something about Predator boots in order to offer some form of explanation to family members and their use was banned by foreigners for 12 months. Ugo Ehiogu was given special dispensation

3. Michael Andrews – Having won a Blue Peter competition for a day out with The United, Michael began to wonder whether he was the true Red he thought he was. He now describes his support as ‘eclectic’ having followed a number of teams since. In a twist of fate he allez’ed Les Blues in Euro 08, before changing to his true favourites Holland, and then the mighty, mighty Ruskies… Spain

4. Marti Pellow – Turned to heroin to try and dull the images of this day, which ultimately led to the break-up of Nineties soul troubadours Wet Wet Wet. Pellow did at least try to exorcise his demons through the song Julia (see number 8) Says, but the horror was all too much to bear

5. Wayne Hemingway – After seeing his famous flat cap design fall from grace in the early Nineties, Hemingway himself brought the look back to prominence with a little help from a Selhurst Park season ticket and a well-managed photo opportunity. Later in his career Hemingway distanced himself from his previous invention, the scarf, and totally denied being the visionary behind Italia 90 mascot Ciao

6. Windsor Davies – The It Ain’t Half Hot Mum star committed suicide days later, claiming responsibility for the whole sorry incident having bellowed his unique catchphrase “you is a bunch of poofs!” only moments earlier

7. Bertram Caxton - Didn’t surprise this Yorkhsireman then, and doesn’t surprise him now. He explained his thinking in a recent blog: “I went to an eatery in Calais and they served me frogs’ legs. Frogs’ legs!!!”

8. Julia - Utilising the brief moment of fame afforded her by Marti and the other Wets she decided to follow her dream to become a despot. She had a very successful spell in Iraq during the Nineties and early Noughties, but has since been hanged after spending some time living in a hole

9. James Trout -Missed the whole incident due to the fact that he was staring lovingly into Cantona’s eyes. Went on to successfuly complete Quakes 1 and 3
