Quite amused to see Ken Loaches new film has taken the title of a book written by a Leeds fan who was tracking down Eric Cantona for an interview for his bookhttp://
www.mightyleeds.co.uk/books/lookingforeric.htmThough the plot of Loaches film is different,it is nontheless a quest of someone looking to find,and speak with Cantona.I wonder why Ken changed the fan looking for Eric to a Man Utd fan?

Marketability?

Probably because he wasn’t at Elland Rd long and was off-loaded PDQ. By all accounts his attitude was typically French.

Quite,but the book was written by a Leeds fan who was on a quest to find his team heroes,of which Eric was one.Though the plot of the film is different in that a Man U fan is looking for Eric for some advice i cannot possibly believe that Loache wass not only inspired by the title of the book but also the search for CantonaReggie is right,its marketability,which really puts Mr "Right On" Loache in his true light.

As a Director I don't think Ken Loache has an equal. I don't think looking for a bgger audience is a crime. 40 years ago the two teams playing in the match in Kes were Man U and Spurs, not Barnsley and Rotherham. I guess he's not a Leeds fan, if I were making films I'd include Leeds if I could.
