FRANCE'S economy minister told Eric Cantona to stick to football after the former Manchester United striker called for a nationwide run on banks to punish them for their role in the financial crisis.
"Mr Cantona is no stranger to controversy. He is a great footballer, but I'm not sure we need to pay heed to all his suggestions," Christine Lagarde said.
Cantona said millions of people should start a revolution by withdrawing their money from their banks. "No weapons, no blood," he said, invoking the calling card of notorious French bank robber Albert Spaggiari, who in 1976 made off with millions of francs after tunnelling his way into a branch of Societe Generale.
