Book Launch: Éric Cantona’s 82 Goals – Veranda Books
To mark the start of the World Cup, join poet, author and football devotee Valentin Deudon for the launch of Éric Cantona’s 82 Goals, a unique tribute to one of football’s most charismatic and enigmatic figures.
Published by Open Borders Press, Éric Cantona’s 82 Goals is an idiosyncratic and affectionate account of every goal scored by the French icon during his legendary spell at Manchester United. Blending sporting history, literary reflection and personal fascination, Deudon revisits each strike to build a portrait of a player whose influence extended far beyond the football pitch.
Deudon will be joined in conversation by Jérôme Chevrier, Head of the Book Department at the Institut Français. Together, they will explore Cantona’s enduring legacy, the art of football writing and the cultural impact of one of the game’s most unforgettable personalities.
The evening will feature readings, drinks and plenty of football nostalgia, offering fans and readers alike the perfect way to kick off the World Cup.
