Cantona - Ooh Ah

Whacky, outrageous, surreal and very funny. These two unusual pieces by Geoffrey Howard barely fill thirty pages, but what they lack in quantity, they make up for in entertainment. The first piece is a surreal fictional work about Eric Cantona. When his second cousin and restaurant owner hears that he is to play in a charity match at Old Trafford, he has a bright idea. How can he use Eric Cantona to boost sales? The solution causes mayhem. The second piece is a script for a ten minute film about a boy who wants to be a footballer. His problem is shared by all children. How can you play ball games without neighbours complaining? His father's solution backfires and gives the reader a smile. This story is written as a script which may not be an easy medium for all readers.
