Eric's childhood ambition was to become a professional soccer player; unfortunately a weakness for deep-fried foods and large quantities of alcohol put an untimely, though foreseeable, end to that dream. An avid Tottenham Hotspur supporter since the age of six, Eric also loves Snooker and claims that possessing an eighth of Ronnie O'Sullivan's skills would make him a very happy man.

Musically, Eric is a big fan of Adam Duritz's vocal and lyrical charisma and believes that CCR really kicked ass in their heyday. He also wishes the Rolling Stones would retire.

Influences:
Jayhawks, Wilco, Counting Crows, Dire Straits, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Meat Puppets, Tom Petty, The Hang-Ups, and Beautiful South.
