Leeds United should be praised for upholding the principle of "innocent until proven guilty".

The case of Cantona was very different. When he appeared to carry out a kung-fu attack on a fan in front of a crowd of thousands and a TV audience of millions while wearing the name "Cantona" in six-inch letters on his back, the chances of mistaken identity seemed minimal.

But did the fan throw himself at Cantona's foot?

Tricky stuff this law business.
