Eric Cantona

  I don’t think it’s possibile to find a more colourful athelete than Eric Cantona.
The former distinguished football player is know from his quotes and scandals nerly as much as for his outstanding career.His peak of the form and fame took place after his transfer move to Manchester United, where he drove his team to the first champions title since 26 years and became the top player of the league. But for his ,,best moment’’ he had to wait for 3 more years.It happened during the match vs Crystal Palace in 1995.He was going towards the dressing room at the half-time when he had heard the Palace fan isulting him.Eric ran at him and brough the justice with a kung-fu kick.The day later the frenchman arranged the press conference,which lasted only 16 seconds. ,,When seagulls follow a trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea’’ he said... and left.

He  described himself as a trawler,media as the seagulls and sardines as an explanation he would say to the journalists. The meaning was simple-the player suggested he won’t say anything, as regardless of the words media would make another big story from it.The negative ,,Cantona story’’ is needed by them like a food ,so he doesn’t want to satisfy them.Sincerely,the poetic phrase used by the player is not really  something that should be very shocking.Eric Cantona loves poetry, just as he loves art of any othersort.For example photography, songwriting and cinematography.The Frenchman has directed two movies and has starred in 31.Sometimes acting as himself like for example in ,,Looking for Eric’’. Homever some of this art activities won’t be taking Cantona’s attention for much longer.He says he’s like a butterfly,because of the constant need of change and evolving.He has to switch his interests once a while if he doesn’t want to get bored.

    Much as I understand your preference for cliffhangers, I'd rather you finished this story in one episode. Are you going to explain Cantona's mysterious words? Or was cryptic language one of his specialties?
    By the way, did you know that Mike Leigh, one of the best known British directors, made a film entitled "Looking for Eric", where Cantona appears as a mentor to the main character?

Muhhamad Alli is one of the greatest athletes of all time and without any doubt a really interesting figure.  The world heavy weight champion was originally named Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in 1964 he changed his name to Muhammad Alli, following his convertion to Islam, which would later hugely influence his life.

Roger Federer

Roger Federer is a Swiss tennis player, that can be undeniably described as one of the most outstanding athletes. He is the only player, who have won five times three from four existing grand slams. This is one of the reasons he’s   called by many people GOAT ,which stands for Greatest Of All Time. His legend is so huge, that some of his fans seem to take part in some kind of a cult, rather just supporting and admiring Roger. They name their children in honour of Federer or even feel a stronger bound with a tennis master than with their own wife.Homever it’s not really just his character-modesty and friendlness, that are a factor here. It’s manly about his style, (not observed in a modern tennis)and his perfection playing it. The Swiss man plays offensive, gracefull, majestic and technically impeccable tennis and that’s what’s the most important for his adorers.  http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/the-cult-of-roger-federer-what-is-it-that-inspires-such-obsessive-dev...

     This week I have read an article form The Guardian about Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his University Education and the way it affects his present activity.  The article is written by a man, who shared his University classes (although not at the same time, but have attended the same subject in the same school). The studies it is all about was Latin and Greek and an author notices Johnson's eagerness about using this background in the political debate. The esssay is based on three main themes – interwieving university environment on Johnson, quoting times he used his classic education and finally, the author's very critical rewiev of PM's habit and it's foundation.      Although I personally, to say lightly am not a fan of Boris Johnson I found this article quite bizzare and poor. I liked the idea of the article and mere story but the usage of  it could be better to say the least. The essayist wanted to attack the pol...
