Which player "kung-fu kicked" a Crystal Palace fan in January 1995?

The answer is Eric Cantona. In January 1995, during a match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, Cantona unleashed a kungfu kick towards a Crystal Palace fan named Matthew Simmons. The incident occurred after Cantona was shown a red card in the 49th minute and was leaving the pitch. In a moment of frustration, Cantona reacted to Simmons' verbal taunts by launching himself feet-first into the crowd. This incident resulted in Cantona being sent off, banned for eight months, and fined £20,000 by the Football Association. It remains one of the most infamous moments in English football history.
