Keane admits temptation to 'Cantona' KungFu Kick

Sunderland manager Roy Keane has admitted there have been times when he wanted to 'do a Cantona' when faced with abuse from the crowd, reports by Soccernet.

Former Manchester United team-mate Erica Cantona was banned for nine months in 1995 for his kung fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan after he reacted to being targeted having been sent off at Selhurst Park. Keane was a fearsome competitor on the pitch but never took his battles outside the playing arena, although he was tempted to.

'I don't think I've ever reacted to a crowd but I think you should be allowed to give a little back,' said the ex-United midfielder. 'I wanted to do an Eric Cantona loads of times. I wanted to do it everywhere. Eventually, Eric just thought, `Enough is enough'. 'In other sports we've seen people go into the crowd and fighting people. I don't sit there shocked. You can see people have had enough.' Keane Said.
