AN APOLOGY? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

From The People’s Sports Confidential column:

No-one will forget palace fan Matthew Simmons' tepid exchange with Eric Cantona - "off, off, off, it's an early bath for you" - at Selhurst Park back in 1995... least of all the man himself.

Simmons recalls Cantona's "kung-fu" attack, after the Frenchman was sent off for raking Richard Shaw, on The Football Years (Sky One, Wed, 10pm).

Sky are showing the footage for the first time since the incident and Simmons will ask on air for an apology from the ex-Manchester United striker. Expect Eric to give him a manly hug.
