"He shouldn't have done it, of course, but I've been staggered to hear some people compare the incident to Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick on that Crystal Palace fan seven years ago," said Gray.
"For me, there's absolutely no comparison. Eric launched himself, feet first, over the advertising hoardings and attacked a fan. All Jamie did was throw a coin which had been thrown at him back into the crowd. And it was hardly as if he threw it back at full pelt was it? It was more of a half-throw. In fact, I'd describe it as a girly throw."
