Manchester United football legend Eric Cantona is to give a "live, unscripted interview" in Derry. The French forward, who was voted Manchester United's best ever player in 2003 by the Inside United magazine, has a cult like following thanks to his grace as a player and charisma.
His football career, which seen him feature for a host of French clubs before moving to Leeds and then Manchester in the 1990s, came to an end when he unexpectedly announced his retired at the age of just 30 in 1997.
He will be at the Millenium Forum this November, marking his first-ever appearance in Derry.
