But even the coolest of characters have their moments – and Evra had his tonight.
The left back, now at Marseille, has become the first player in Europa League history to be sent off BEFORE a game has even started.
Why? Oh, for just casually kicking a fan in the head.
And not just any fan – a Marseille one too.
According to reports, Evra was receiving a barrage of abuse from his own supporters during the warm up for their clash with Guimaraes in Portugal.
You can watch the incident below:
Evra was duly dismissed by the officals for his actions before the game went ahead despite the unsavoury scenes.
Eric Cantona eat your heart out.
