1996 Merlin Premier Gold #83 Eric Cantona MGC 9
This Eric Cantona card is number 83 from the 1996 Merlin Premier Gold collection. The card has been graded MGC 9 Mint by Majesty Grading Company.
The card was issued during the 1995-96 season, when Cantona returned from his eight month suspension and led Manchester United to the League and FA Cup Double. He scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final against Liverpool, a memorable volley from the edge of the area. It was a remarkable comeback season that cemented his status as one of the Premier League’s most iconic figures.
Born in Marseille on 24 May 1966, Cantona joined Manchester United from Leeds United in November 1992 for £1.2 million. He scored 82 goals in 185 appearances and won four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and two Doubles, wearing the iconic number 7 shirt with his trademark upturned collar.
He retired unexpectedly in May 1997 at the age of 30.
