Eric is a hardcore football fan whose love for the sport was sparked by Zidane's star turn for Les Bleus in 1999. Eric's admiration for that world cup winning side led him to Arsenal, where so many of the players on that 1999 team became club legends . Though the names on the kits have long since changed, Eric's love for Arsenal remains as strong as ever.
