I first came across Eric when he played for France Under 21s and I played for England. We played at Highbury - he scored and was fantastic. He had this bad boy image and reputation, but at Leeds I didn’t see that. He always seemed a bit aloof - I put that down to the language.
He was a very good trainer. We had no problems with that whatsoever. There were no doubts over his ability.
I remember one time in training he scored this incredible goal, and anyone who scored it would have gone absolutely crazy and run around like a lunatic.
