The glory and the tragedy: auction of Manchester United prints will revive memories - happy and sad

 


Cantona fires home the winning goal


CALLING all Manchester United fans!

A print of Eric Cantona scoring the only goal in the club's defeat of Liverpool in the 1996 FA Cup Final is up for grabs at auction.

The print, signed in pencil by the artist Marc Grimshaw, measures approximately 61.5cm x 52cm.

As Lot 424, it will go under the hammer in an online/in-person  auction being held by John Taylors of Louth this afternoon (November 15).

In the same sale, there is another Man U item - Lot  423 - with very sad associations.

A signed print, painted in 2002 by an artist unknown, it depicts Old Trafford on February 7, 1958 - the day after the Munich air disaster claimed the lives of 23 players, journalists and supporters.
