A friend at last?
"I'm a Manchester United fan. My dad originally got me watching them and the way they played. Eric Cantona was there at the time - I loved him, him and Gazza. The first match I ever saw was Tottenham versus Wimbledon when Gazza first came down to London. Lineker was there too, but for me Cantona was the true hero. He used to step on the pitch and there'd just be this aura around him. Opposing players used to back off him. His all-round ability was something else - he could do magical things. At times he'd just wander through the game doing nothing and then all of a sudden he'd pop up and score a wonderful goal.
I'd always try to model myself on him, imitate the surprise element to his game." Modest as ever Bentley concludes: "What I try to do on the pitch is similar to Eric's old role - I create, I score and I entertain the crowd."
Bentley is as deluded as ever, he is nowhere near as good as Cantona or Gazza, but he sure is good at talking himself up.

Quote:Merlion96
People, to play like Cantona or Gazza, the first think you need is a "football brain"....not Cantona's loud-mouth or Gazza's self-destructive life-style.
I do hope he play like Cantona and Gazza:
- Cantona "Kungfu kicking" Arsenal ball boys at Emirates
- Gazza 2-foot lunge on EBoue to tear his cruciate ligaments.

Quote:Padre Pio
Nothing wrong in saying your favourite player is Gazza, except he says on his website it was Cantona.
Quote Bentley: He was my favourite player," he said. "The first shirt I ever got was a Tottenham shirt with 'Gazza' on the back. He was everything to me, a footballer who enjoyed his life and played with freedom."
So the quote is bollox and you will find out fo yourself soon enough that the bloke is a Gob$hyte who cant help himseslf.
