"I was the first agent to bring in bonuses and the funniest deal I ever did was when I was looking after Dennis Wise and John Fashanu at Wimbledon... "I got a call from a guy called Dave Beasant, who I knew was a player but I didn't know much about him. "He told me he was moving from Wimbledon to Newcastle and asked if I could do the deal, so I said I would and I travelled up to meet the club. "I'm giving it all my shtick - 'This player's great and I want bonuses of £9,000 a goal and after 10 goals an extra £100,000.' "Newcastle said, 'Our pleasure, Eric.' I came out of the meeting and Dave said: 'Eric, do you know what position I play? Goalkeeper.' "
