CATALANS IN FRANCE

Eric Cantona

"(...) it was Catalonia rather than Spain that won two European Championships either side of the 2010 World Cup.

He said: "Catalonia won. Because they won with 10 players from Barcelona. My grandparents are from Catalonia, from Barcelona. They arrived in France in '39. There was a civil war. So, I am very proud of Barcelona and all that they have done."

Raimon Domènech

Not Catalan, but always deserving a look,
