Did a teenage superfan inspire Eric Cantona's infamous "seagulls" quote?

On 31st March 1995, after delivering his cryptic words to the press, the next person Eric wanted to speak to was 13-year-old Baz Pennells.

Baz had been at Eric's appeal hearing earlier that day, and had handed him a good luck card containing a poem he'd written himself.

Was the gesture Eric's inspiration?

This is the unheard story of how a young boy may have played a key role in one of British football's most well-known moments.
