FOOTBALL legend Eric Cantona is coming to Bournemouth and one lucky reader could win the chance to meet him.

Tomorrow's Daily Echo will feature details of a competition to win a pair of VIP tickets, worth more than £200, to the Manchester United star's Evening with Eric Cantona, at the BIC on Tuesday.

One winner will be chosen to receive a pair of tickets in the front few rows, plus a meet-and-greet with the man himself, and a professional photograph.

Cantona, who has taken five years to come round to the idea of a live show, talking about his career and showing some of his football highlights on a big screen, but admits he is excited to be heading to the stage.

He added: "I am really looking forward to coming to the UK to talk onstage. I have lots of stories to tell about my days at the greatest club of all, my beloved Manchester United with the best fans in the world."
