I remember when Cantona was sold and thinking, not bad money for a sub! I think his departure was a bit overrated, big move for ManU alright but no huge loss for Leeds.
Was listening to an interview with Tony Dorigo where he noted that Cantona was just not a Wilkinson player and his exit was no big loss, he felt the backpass rule had a huge bearing on how things went wrong the season after the title.
I went to the charity shield that season , it was so obvious watching there were problems on right side of defence and also back pass rule was going to affect the side big time . Fairclough and Whyte seemed to have lost pace by that season or the pass back was the reason they did well .I think Snodin was put on right defence where he was bought as a midfielder .....if memory serves . How a side can go downhill so quickly is astounding , yet I wouldn't swap that title memory for anything as I thought we would never see it again. Funnily right now I think we will never see it again
