Eric Cantona

This is Eric Cantona. My first meeting with football as a 6 year old. The reason I got attracted with the game was his way of making the other players look like wooden poles, his grace and authority on the field, this is reflected by the wearing of the captain's armband and the collar up and his general pose. This picture reflects his attitude, with his back to the rest of us.

The spot colour of his red shirt against the grey/black background makes him stand out, this symbolises his dominant role within the team. The artistic nature of the picture is also a reflection of his artistic flair with a football.
