Eric Cantona’s fav. moment

The following clip was taken from Ken Loach’s film ‘Looking for Eric’. This particular clip shows Steve Evets, the depressive postman who conjures up his hero, Eric Cantona, to help him turn his life around, asks Cantona about his favorite moment.

Yup, his favorite moment was a pass and not the goals he has scored. ‘It wasn’t a goal. It was a pass’ – a pass to Denis Irwin with the outside of his boot against Spurs, which leads to a goal.

Football is one of the sports where great examples of how a group of people working together and trusting each other can achieve the best of results. It’s all about teamwork, if you can’t communicate with your team mates, no matter how best you perform a task, getting to that goal will be hard as obstacles after obstacles will be there to block you.

Be humble, trust in your team mate and work together to achieve the goal. Believe me, the taste of victory at the end will taste ever much sweeter than you doing it alone. But of course the message isn’t that simple, it’s also about taking the risk. it’s the unexpected that causes the greatest impact in your life – perhaps a moment where you dared to take a risk and it came off, and then you remember it for ever as a life-changing decision because you know you could have taken the safer option. But if you had, your life would have been the poorer somehow.

Like King Eric said towards the end of the clip: ‘You have to trust your team-mates’. A wonderful definition of the team ethic.
