My point to him being unrecognised was aimed at HBC; as soon as Stanley bring success to the town Britcliffe is happy to accept praise for himself....why? I have no idea; that man couldn't find his behind with both hands.
Eric can be a little grumpy...only towards referees though

Another point I'd like to make (groooaaaannn) is that Eric is always happy to come into the sports bar with all the fans after home games...like I said he is a really down to earth man - none of this fake 'people power' *shudder* that Britcliffe and his goons seem to adopt when Stanley are about.
