Eric's face is the one I see when I hear "football agent", sort of spiv looking.
Did well for himself and led a full and varied life.
RIP.
The Epitome of the Football Agent, without doubt a character.
RIP
I'd not heard that story about Dave Beasant (which, fair play, Hall told against himself) before.Quote:

I didn’t know him but did cross paths a couple of times when he was in the music industry.
Not entirely sure I would have trusted him further than I could have thrown him but he could spin a yarn in the Oporto with an audience.
Probably wanted to be in front of the camera and to be fair he managed that. As someone else mentioned a loveable rouge ,in the manner of Arthur Daley , springs to mind.
Eric was certainly a larger than life character who didn’t take himself too seriously and came across a full on nutter. I do like Jon Smith super agent as well because I remember him from the northern soul scene and I find him quite cool.
