Wolves defender Ronald Zubar faces Manchester United today admitting he grew up idolising Eric Cantona.
Zubar met Cantona during his time at Marseille.
"He was a great player and a real character,'' he told the Birmingham Mail.
''The fact he's still so much in the minds of fans shows what a player he was. Some of his goals were incredible. I loved his attitude.
"When you went on to the pitch other players sometimes thought 'he wants to kill me'. For that, I love this man."
