Eric Cantona is one of the most enigmatic characters ever to play the game of football.
Fondly remembered for some truly sublime moments of magic in the red of Manchester United, and less fondly remembered for kicking a Crystal Palace fan in the face, the one thing you could never accuse Cantona of is lacking confidence.
That point is further proven by his willingness to get naked on the cover of 'Elle' one of France's most popular magazines, at the age of 49.
Cantona as his actress wife Rachida Brackni were the subject of an article in the magazine, and while the front cover leaves something to the imagination, the insert shows that Eric has the hariest arse since Ted Crilly.

So there it is.
You didn't think this morning when you woke up that you would be looking at 49 year old Eric Cantona's hairy backside, but here you are doing just that.
