text: why did eric cantona leave leeds united? does anyone know why?  the rumour i heard was that he had an affair with another players wife. does anyone know if this is true? when leeds won the title in 1992, remember when man united lost to west ham on a tuesday night and came second after leeds beat sheffield united and man utd lost to liverpool on the sunday, well there was apparently a big party held at david batty's house and among the ones that attended were lee chapman and his mrs, leslie ash. rumour has it that chappy caught cantona and leslie in an intimate situation and cracked cantona./
