Reds' legend Eric Cantona will be reunited with Sir Alex Ferguson and a host of his former team-mates next month at the Football Extravaganza dinner in London and two lucky Reds will be there too.
The Frenchman will be the recipient of the ‘Legend of Football’ award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the beautiful game, the highlight of which was his four-and-a-half-year stay at Old Trafford. Sir Alex will be on hand to present the accolade to the former Red-turned actor, while a number of other United legends and well-known football faces will be in attendance at the dinner at London’s Hilton Park Lane Hotel on 12 April.
Since its inaugural event in 1996, the Football Extravaganza, which is hosted by Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys, has honoured a number of the game’s greats, including Sir Alex, Denis Law and Teddy Sheringham.
Over the past 14 years, the dinner has raised almost £4million for music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins which specialises in transforming the lives of children and adults constrained by illness, disability, trauma or isolation, through the power of music. As well as the main presentation to Eric, there will also be music and entertainment and a charity auction featuring some unique United-themed items.
