Jimmy Hill on Eric Cantona, Football's Biggest Controversy... and a Few Unexpected Detours! ⚽

When Jimmy Hill appeared on The Word, the conversation covered just about everything. From joking about being in "slow motion" as a player to giving his measured views on Eric Cantona's infamous suspension and jail sentence, Hill showed exactly why he was one of football's most respected voices.

Rather than defending or condemning Cantona outright, Hill argued that no one is above the law and that footballers, like everyone else, have to accept the consequences of their actions. He also spoke about crowd behaviour, responsibility in football, and why those who cause trouble should be held accountable.

The interview then took an unexpected turn into hunting, horse riding, and his supposed rivalry with Sir Alex Ferguson, with plenty of good-natured banter along the way.

Classic The Word. One minute you're debating one of football's biggest controversies, the next you're talking fox hunting and winding up Manchester United.
