Today is Eric Cantona's 50th birthday. Well known for acting the fool, wearing his collar up, posing when he has just chipped the keeper from 25 yards and jumping onto abusive members of the Crystal Palace crowd (he was banned for 8 months from playing football in 1995). Eric is now a well known actor, best loved for his lager adverts. But there is much more to him!
Eric was born in 1966 and his parents were of Sardinian and Catalan origin. They lived in a cave in cliffs in Marseille. Fortunately, his grandfather, a stonemason, converted it into a family home. His mother was a dress maker and his father a nurse and painter. He had to be an actor in the end.
Jimmy Bullard acts the fool too and if you look back at past blogs there will be an odd reference to this genial clown. He has recently been hired by Soccer AM to do a weekly gig called "You know the drill". If you look up Soccer AM or You know the drill, you will find many of his challenges. I am using the ipad to write this blog and I'm not entirely sure how to get the link for you, but you will sort it out!
It may look something like this-

If you want to get serious then also go for Allan Russell's videos. He is a professional "strikers" coach and he travels the continent giving advice to goal scorers. There are a number of useful drills to bring into your coaching sessions.
Of course he has met Jimmy, but I doubt that he has met Eric. Not that Eric ever needed advice on scoring.
